Strange picture to pick I guess for this post, but I find it fitting. The sky is half dark and half light b/c of the storm that was coming in.

I miss my friends and family! I am not a huge fan of 'growing up', I guess as it tends to lead to not talking with good friends and family as much. People grow apart, move away, have cute kids, etc... and then there is less time to chat and even meet up. I find it sad that it comes to this with some relationships, but sometimes understandable. When you play phone tag with someone for a few days, you just (or at least I do) tend to give up and stop calling. Whomever you are trying to contact is obviously busy and will possibly call when they have time or think of it again...maybe. Other things, you just get used to, wether you are a fan of it or not. I guess it is just the nature of living and growing up; you lose people, great friendships sometimes tend to turn into being acquaintances and sometimes you turn out to be closer friends with others that you hadn't before.

For me, I know two things are true:

1) I still have the same best friend that I have had since I was a kid. She happens to have children now and while we might not get to spend as much time together, we still try to make time and maintain our relationship. Each of us is still always there when the other needs us.

2) I have my boyfriend of many years by my side. He is always supportive and understanding. And I believe with all my heart that no matter what or where the years lead us, he will be by my side until I leave this life. He is my love, my over and a best friend.

I guess it is time for me to just realize that this is how life and growing up works. Just say 'Oh well' and move on...
