Do you remember when you were a kid/teen and you honestly could not imagine life with out your friends? You swore that NO MATTER WHAT you would always be BFFs? I remember feeling this way, and I also remember hearing from parents/leaders that "believe it or not you will lose touch with your best friends" or "I only talk to one of my friends from highschool every few months" and "You'll find other friends."
I remember thinking that that was ABSOLUTELY CRAZY and there was NO WAY that would happened to me and my friends. We needed each other! and would ALWAYS be there for each other. Bestie's for life!
Well believe it or not, I now understand what my parents were trying to tell me. They were right! I rarely talk to my friends from high school. Don't get me wrong, when I DO talk to them, I LOVE catching up and seeing them. They are all great. and I really do have the bestest of friends. But... I hate to say these relationships are no longer starting to feel like BFFs but more just like acquaintances. Or, (yes I have to say this) "Someone that I use to know."
I loved high school! I loved/still love ALL of my friends! We made great, unforgettable memories.
I'm in a different stage of life than most of my friends. To be bold... I'm at a better stage. I'm married and have a family.
I hate HATE that people look at me and feel bad for me. "Her life is over." "No more fun for her!" PURE CRAZINESS! I could NOT be happier. I'm married. I have a son. Seriously my life is just starting. It's just getting fun. I don't have to play the stupid awkward dating game. I don't have to worry about who I'm going to hang out with on Friday night.
I have my family. Ya, I don't stay up late anymore. Big deal. I get to hang out with my BFFs every single day. How lucky am I??
BFF
Best. Friends. FOREVER.
I didn't understand what exactly "forever" really was until I made a promise with Alek in the temple that I would be his... forever.
Yep. I really do have my family forever. <3
Friends come and go. But, how truly blessed am I that I have my BFFs and they're not going anywhere :)
