So I was checking a FWD that someone sent (which I absolutely HATE...do not send me FWDs, not in text or email) and I noticed an old friend's email. I have not spoken to this person in forever and I didn't know their email account was still active.
Me and this person used to be the best of friends. We met in choir and were inseparable until about a year ago. It seems to me like after she got married, our friendship changed.
Neways, I emailed her and it took her a lil while to email me back. She basically said I never called her and she was tired of always being the one to call. She said I never wanted to hang out with her, and how though her number changed, her email never did. So I discussed this with my FI and he was like she's just trying to be in your wedding...lol...I emailed her back because we used to be so close. It was funny because my mom asked about her around that time also. I emailed her back and basically told her what was going on. I don't talk to my other best friends that much either but we are still cool. We just have a friendship where we don't have to talk every single day but we do keep in touch. They are busy as well as me and that helps our frienship get stronger b/c we are pursing different dreams. Whatever, where was I? Oh yes...Then I was pissed about the my email never changed bit because email was never a big part of our relationship b/c they never had internet...When I wanted to talk to her I called her, not email.
In my email response to her I basically said that she was not the only person that I did not call often. The only people who I called frequently were my classmates...if you can't help me figure out what my reading for the week is, I have nothing to say to you...lol...Once I changed schools, I changed jobs and this one had worst hours and horrible pay and it seemed like if I wasn't at school, i was at work...I never took off b/c i needed to pay rent and other bills. She would call me to hang out but I was working...or I was tired...I only saw my roommates b/c...they lived with me...then there was the whole thing with my phone always getting cut off like every other month....jeez my life was a mess then...
She hasn't emailed me back yet for about six days...not that I am counting...my email told me...lol...I dont think the email was disrespectful...I was trying to be candid.
I don't want to say that I don't care if we are friends or not because that sounds super callous, but I'm not losing sleep over it. It obviously bothers me a little bit because I am writing about it now. Things kinda just fizzled out and it is sad. I was in her wedding and I always assumed that when my time came she would participate in mine. I will extend an invitation to her and her husband but...like the french say, C'est la vie!!
They say everything has a season....maybe our season is over...maybe not...She's not the first friend I lost this year and she probably won't be the last. People grow apart...(of course this does not apply to S and M...we are best friends forever...I've known you guys since the third and fourth grade!! You don't carry someone around the playground at recess and never talk to them again...its not natural).
Plus when I think about it now, I think I was a little co-dependent on her...I think we both were but once she got her husband she didnt need me anymore. We were always together, we talked on the phone constantly...I always needed her approval it seemed like...And the one time I couldn't get it, it seemed our friendship changed. When I moved to Philly and she got married, our lives went in different ways. Up til then, we always had similar life experiences. Now our life experiences are not parallel. We don't have as much in common anymore...
About Me

- I am 25 year old getting ready for our nuptials on May 01, 2010. I am currently a graduate student majoring in Occupational Therapy. I love to write and I love weddings (well I used to). I thought it would be a great way to blend a few of my loves into a blog. Sit back and enjoy while I attempt to juggle planning a wedding on a budget while doing schoolwork. So let the madness begin!!
