In junior high and high school I had good friends. Misplaced Momma and JP (the one I recently met for dinner) . I don’t even remember how it came about but we became Peace (moi), Love (Misplaced Momma) & Harmony (JP). Thinking about it maybe it was prompted by a t-shirt I had with that printed on it.
(Shut your face! I was 13 in this picture. And it was cool back then to wear socks with your mary janes 
You can barely see the Peace, Love, Harmony print, but it’s there I promise! And if you are curious it was a Valentine’s Day dance and he had his hands on my ass LOL not in this picture but on the dance floor. I digress…)
I don’t know (obviously my memory isn’t as good as I thought it was) how we picked who was going to be who but ironically these pseudo names fit us perfectly.
I’m one of the most non-confrontational person you will ever meet. I don’t know how to tell people to their face that they are being an ass (unless I’m really close to you cuz then I have no problems) or that I’m pissed at you for blabbing my secrets. I’m not spineless I would always stick up for my friends. I was the peacekeeper. And if I was mad or hurt by you I’d much rather walk away from the whole situation.
Misplaced Momma was the nurturing one. She worked in the nursery for her church and always loved babysitting and being around children. She was the one that would make you feel better when you were having a bad day. She always had a kind word or something to lift your spirits.
JP was the one that was quick to agree. She never seemed to be on anyone’s bad side. She was the model of harmony. Through high school we drifted apart, not hanging out quite as much.
MM and I still kept our nicknames. Writing notes to one another addressed as Peace and Love. We had necklaces and trinkets with our logos on them. This was only the beginning of the nicknames we attached to one another.

I had friends like that in high school and junior high, but I seemed to lose touch with them once that phase of my life ended. The only friends I still have from high school are the ones who didn’t attend my school, and we were required to write letters or emails in order to keep our friendship alive.
