I have been thinking about my friends, and friendships that I have, previously had or wish were still the same. I think as a girl it is harder to keep and make friends. I know people who are still close to friends that they had in school and it seems strange to me. Most of the friends I had in school have changed so much that I don't really even want to associate with them anymore. Crap, there are people that were in my wedding 10 months ago that I don't want to be friends with anymore. Maybe, it's just me. I don't know.
I just want friends that are good people. Think about others more than themselves. Maybe have a few good morals and values. I have seen quotes about how friendship isn't about being inseperable, it's about being and nothing changes. This is true. So true. I'm not the kind of person who can be around someone all the time. I need my space. I need time for me. I don't want to have to worry about my friend being upset because I didn't text or call them that day. I'm just not that kind of girl. I don't even talk to my own mom everyday. I probably wouldn't talk to Kyle everday if we didn't live together.
I don't have anything profound to say about friendship.. or particularly moving. It was just something I have been thinking about. And, looking at my wedding pictures today made me miss some friendships that I used to have. I believe everyone comes into your life for a reason. We had the friendship we had to learn from each other. Once that purpose was served you move on. But, that doesn't mean you can't miss it.
I do have a couple really close friends that I would be lost without. I am a social person 80% of the time. I like going out with a group of friends and having a good time. I think it is important to have friends in your life. They help you to be the best version of you that you can be. I truely believe this.
I love the girls that are in my life and I am thankful for them everyday.
I do believe that I have the best group of girl friends that any girl can have. I know I can call any of them at any moment with a problem and they would be there for me, no matter what. They dealt with me as bridezilla, that was the true test of friendship.
I love you ladies. :-)
And yes, you would be correct in assuming we were at least 99% intoxicated in all 3 of these pictures.
So THAT explains why I don't hear from you everyday! I thought it was ME! No, just kidding. I'm the same exact way :)
ReplyDeleteI understand what you mean and totally empathize. I fortunately do have a few friends from high school I was able to remain close to, but I never remember to call/email/etc. them. It's a good thing I have facebook or I'd never talk to anyone! It just seems like life is moving by so quickly and suddenly a whole year has passed or something! It really does take a lot of work and sometimes it doesn't seem as though it's worth it. I am so glad you have your girls that are close to you that mean so much to you. That is incredibly important! Those will hopefully be the ones you love the rest of your life.
ReplyDelete(((HUGS))) There's some encouraging hugs for you. :) Talk to you later! (Or not...) ;)
