It's important to share those things.

I've felt lonely in the past, but in this recent year I have learned to become more open with the people closest to me and all the negativity I've battled with seems to be disappearing...and whenever it resurfaces again, I look to those people closest to me for reassurance. I wish I didn't need it, but I think it's the kind of thing I could never outgrow.<br /><br />I finished uni a few years ago, and all I remember is feeling lost and a sense of relief that that was all over.the weight of a letterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116356685740059406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448346043705610950.post-58969960584060539842015-12-10T18:40:44.468-05:002015-12-10T18:40:44.468-05:00You are too kind!

And no, thank you for the long comment! I love it! I think that having fewer friendships even allows those friendships to grow deeper. It's sort of a quality vs. quantity thing.

I mean, I'll be 25 next month...so it isn't as if I'm way older than you and have a bunch of wisdom to impart. But my life now consists of my husband, our families, and, like, four close friends. <br /><br />We do have more responsibilities and less time to spend with others now, so we've naturally had to prioritize our relationships. But I think it's something more than that. As time has passed, I know more about what I want and who I am, and I'm not so worried about pleasing everyone around me. <br /><br />I'm much less likely to do something just because my friends want to these days. And the only friends who have stuck around have done so because they value me and I value them. Relationships that were more based on utility have sort of fallen by the wayside. And I think we're all happier for it. <br /><br />Sorry, this is so long. But I relate! You are not alone!meg birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078564242720765023noreply@blogger.com
