This past weekend we headed back to Asheville, and got to spend time with some of my closest, oldest friends. <\/p>\n

I really miss NC. I haven’t made the kinds of friendships out here that I thought I would mainly because I haven’t found a way to make everything work. And the thing that’s suffered the most is building relationships in CA that don’t revolve around TokBox. <\/p>\n

And when I get back together with this crew (and now the +1s that are starting join), I realize how great good friends really are. <\/p>\n

They bitch with you about things that don’t matter, and there’s no need to fix it.<\/p>\n

They tell stories about when you were an idiot, and how they contributed to that moment in ways that only they could. <\/p>\n

They make you laugh, and cry, and think about how lucky you really are. <\/p>\n

This weekend was a great reminder for me that you can go home, and it doesn’t mean you didn’t make it. <\/p>\n

Gosh I love these guys. And because of this weekend, I appreciate the crew I have built in CA that much more. <\/p>\n
