Before my B-Day (6-18) actually came, I couldn't help but to think about all the changes that took place from 28 to 29. I got a promotion at work (yay!), moved to the neighborhood of my dreams (double yay!), but the biggest change has been to my circle of friends :-(
Why the sad face? That has been a huge adjustment. I had a circle of friends, who we'll just call the R- Family, about 8 deep. Like most families some were closer than others, but all of us got along for the greater good and when we were ALL together, we had some great times! Things began to change slowly, from hanging out every weekend to visits every month, to not seeing each other till the out-of-state family members were in town. There was no big blow out, no arguments, no drama, we just drifted apart. Weird thing is... I don't miss them.
Its an adjustment because one of my biggest fears is being alone in life. I have no siblings or any cousins that I'm really close with. I still have about 4 to 5 people that I call close friends which is good, but who's to say things won't change with them as well. I'm pushing 30 now and it just feels too late in life to be trying to set up a new circle. So many people I know have their group of good judies and BFF's and here I am starting from scratch. On the bright side I must say that I have met some really great people within the last year. I guess you can saw out with the old and in with the new!
I'm certainly not trying to bring back what use to be. Everything happens for a reason. I'll keep moving right along and see what's next for me. Life always changes.
