Here's the thing, I'm just too busy for you.

I don't mean that in a bad way, in fact I really miss you. But life is super crazy for me right now and I just don't have a minute in my day. You have to understand, it's not that you're not important. But I have a TON of important things and people that are on my mind constantly. I try, but sometimes I can't do it all.

I know, I'm the person you assume always has it together. I never talk about how I'm literally drowning in work and sometimes I can barely force myself out of bed in the morning to go to school or one of my two jobs. I never talk about how even when I have a day off I'm glued to my computer screen trying to write a paper or finish homework before the 11:59pm deadline. I don't talk about the mini-breakdown I had in the bathroom at school because I forgot to turn in a homework assignment because I have too much to do. I mean I did the assignment, I just forgot to turn it in because I can't even remember to eat breakfast somedays. But I don't talk about it, so how are you supposed to know?

Well here is me letting you know. My life is crazy right now and I'm sorry that means I don't have the time to come visit or to text you first. Sometimes even when you text me first I forget to text back. That makes me a terrible friend/family member I know. But I'm telling you, it's not because I don't care. I only have 16 hours in my day and I try to fit everything in. I'm sorry if sometimes that doesn't include you.

Just know, I miss you. I miss the days of getting to watch movies or go get dinner or any of the things we used to do. I can't wait till my life is a little less hectic and I have the time to see you again. Until then, I'll keep liking all of your posts on social media because that's the only way I can participate in your life right now and you keep inviting me to stuff because someday I promise I'll go.

I think I have an opening sometime in January if you want to plan something.
