I’ve realized something lately – my life is constantly changing. I am a strong believer that change, in general, leads to good things. But, that doesn’t mean that it’s not really hard sometimes. I’ve noticed change in big things and little things…
Friendships change. I’ve noticed this is little ways. I don’t talk to the people that used to be my closest friends in the world nearly as much as I used to. It’s not because I don’t want to talk to them, but I’ve felt lately that their lives are too busy for me, too complicated for me, and that due to distance and just life, we’re not as close as we used to be. I mourn that a lot, and have thought about it a lot lately. I have also felt myself pulling away, because I don’t like feeling hurt and…unimportant.
At the same time, I have found new friends in unexpected places, so I guess that is just the circle of friendships. don’t get me wrong, i still treasure my friends so much, but I am starting to feel like I have a different, somehow smaller, place in some lives…
I hear you, girl. And I’m so sorry you’re hurting. Sometimes friends are just busy; sometimes they are just dumb. Jesus knew what it was to be rejected and let down by friends; take it to Him. And trust Him to bring people into your life for the right roles at the right time. I like you. 🙂 Does that help at all?
Oh man, I know exactly what you’re talking about. It’s hard. I’ll pray for you.
