As I scroll through my Facebook news feed, I see the people I once called close friends and, still do for some, are living their lives better than I ever thought we would be. Although I am proud of myself in a way, I do feel like my life is a tad boring but I’ve wanted to write this for a while now. Some of you are fathers, wives, mothers, husbands, Au pairs, collegian scholars (I say that with hesitation) etc. and I am so delighted to call you all my friends. Although I am content with my life right now, my routine seems unentertaining in the grand scheme of things. I go to sleep at a decent time, I go to class for most of my week days, and then I go to work for three hours every day during the week. Then I come home to my apartment, eat dinner, work on some homework, and go to bed. When I see all of you starting families, raising children, and traveling the world, jealousy hits some times. I love my schedules and life, but I cant help thinking about what my life would be like if I was in your shoes.
I am so proud of each and everyone of you. No matter where your path has brought you, all of you have stepped up the plate to do the right thing or the thing you were meant to do. When I see pictures of your weddings, children, or accomplishments I immediately become happy knowing that all of you are happy.
There are some friendships that ended badly but as we all become adults I see us handling it appropriately. I hope that when we all come together for reunions or some other gathering we can catch up like old times and forget about the past.
To my friendships that kind of grew apart, I feel so bad. If we haven't stayed in touch at all or as much as we should, please reach out to me. If we haven’t talked in a while, don’t take that as me not caring. I care so much about each and every one of you but I have never been sure if it is my place to reach out. Because most of us will likely stay in Wyoming let's not let friendships fade so quickly, so call me, message me, or text me. I am always willing to catch up!
No matter where our friendships lie right now, they are all important. If we talk daily or haven't talked in years you are significant to me.
