Do they sell a “Best Friends For Now” frame?
The picture frame reminds me a lot of my relationship with certain aspects of life in Los Angeles. There are things about this city that I thought I’d always love, so much so that I would have bought a Friends Forever frame and taken a picture next to them.
Things like:
The 8 Track Kid and The Powerhouse – Friends Forever
or
The 8 Track Kid and Aaron’s Records – We’ll Always Be Together
and
Me and Driving a Car – Best Friends for Life
In time my relationship with these things changed. I grew up, they closed or it just became apparent it was not working out between us.
I’m sure we all have had a person, place or thing in this city that we thought we’d always love, only to leave it behind when we moved on. What are yours?
