To all the friends that I haven’t talked to in a while,
First things first, how are you? How is college going? I saw that you got a new job, how has that been? You had a kid?!?! That’s great!
It has been quite a long time since we have last talked. I would like to say that it’s mostly my fault. I got very busy when I got to Central. Being a Division II college athlete has a lot of responsibility. I barely have time to call my family let alone 900+ friends on Facebook. But I do still like to keep up with you when I can. Sometimes seeing the political or overly dramatic posts on Facebook can be a bit much for me, but I get that you are passionate and want to voice your opinion.
My schedule is packed, whether it be practice, weights, running, class, my podcast, and a slew of other things. It is hard to keep in contact with more than like 10 people at a time. I try my best, but unless I see you constantly or I have talked to you recently, it just doesn’t happen. Which is something I need to work on but I can only do so much.
Although, even if we don’t talk a ton anymore, I do enjoy seeing how your life is going and how things are progressing as we get older. I like seeing all the crazy things that you have done since high school has ended. Joining a sorority or fraternity, traveling to a different country, or even getting married are a few of the things I have seen happen over the years. It is great to see that you have done so much in such a little time.
In case you were wondering I have been good. I know I don’t post too much on social media but I still have had some experiences. Central has been fun, playing on the team here has been an experience like no other. I was not prepared for the brotherhood that college football has brought me but I am glad that I am a part of it. College itself has been a shock to the system as well. How I ever did six one-hour-long classes in high school I’ll never know, I can barely get through three sometimes.
At the end of the day I want you to know that I do pay attention and see how things have changed. I do not want to be surprised when our five or 10 year anniversary comes up. As much fun as that would be I want to be surprised or excited about what you are up to. All the relationships you have through good or bad, your travels, or even what happened on a random day.
So if I don’t talk to you much anymore, it doesn’t mean we still aren’t friends, it just means that we are living life and I want to thank all of you who have stuck with me over the years. I can't wait to see what is in store for us in the future!
