Are there such things as friends for life??  Hi there,  so many months have passed, my great Italy trip have ended sometime age. Did I enjoy myself, yes I did. However with the trip I've realized that living with friends 24/7 for the 2 weeks can be a very trying experience even if you are not lovers. We eat together, we explore together, we fall in love together and that had not made it easier. One of my girl friend have a tendency to nag the 3 of us about everything. Be it the weather, food or shopping, she just has to have her say. There is a constant need for her to voice her opinions about everything, which is fine as long as one does not expect agreement from the others. However if one is only concern with her own opinions, I believe then , one stops growing!!! Its only thru' the good and bad experiences in various situations during our lives that we learn and grow.
