Friends!

So, after writing my first blog, I woke up the next day feeling sick and full of regret.

There were certain “Friends” that haven’t spoken to me about it, mentioned it, commented on it or generally cared.

So, a “normal” person would say, who cares… look how many people DO care. I had about 30 messages over night from various different people, congratulating me, telling me their stories etc etc. But still, the first thought is.. what about the others.

Something that has been a huge huge part of my life, more so in the last year is how frequently friends come and go as you get older.

Finding myself nearly 30 and newly single, I realised how much I needed my friends. I felt my self looking around and seeing that people that were a huge part of my life last year are now No where to be seen.

I remember my mum telling me a few years ago that as I get older, I will lose a lot of friends but the friends I keep will be for life.

What I find really hard is the fact that I have some wonderful friends who have always been incredible to me, however I still find myself “mourning” over the loss of the old friends, especially when they walked out of my life completely randomly and for what feels like no reason.

I know I need to pick myself up and treasure those that ARE still around and not forgetting the new friends I’ve made along the way. So here is to doing exactly that… to my TRUE friends… Thank you xxx
