With my 10 year reunion approaching, a MySpace page has been set up for my senior class to join so we can all get in touch. Well it's been nice to see so many faces that I haven't seen in years! When I left for college, I only stayed in Michigan for 2 years before leaving that school and moving to Chicago. When I moved I stayed in close contact with my one best friend Erin. Every once in awhile I email back and forth a few others but I feel like I have lost so many friends. In looking at other people's myspace pages I see their pictures which include a lot of friends from HS....I'm just feeling bummed that so many stayed in contact with each other and I didn't. Does any one else feel this way?
I know life goes on, and you find out who your true friends are, but why do I feel that I haven't found the quality of friendships that I had when I was younger? Is it because I'm in Chicago and most people I meet, it seems we have a very superficial relationship? Is it just me.....am I a bad friend? My husband stayed in the town he went to HS in up until a couple years ago and it seemed like he had SO many friends...I missed that! Maybe I'm just having an emotional day, but I'm just a little bummed that I feel I have lost so many people and to so many people I have been forgotten.
I also believe 100% that quality is better than quantity when it comes to friends, so I will continue to appreciate the friends that I do have...after all, I care about them and they care about me back...that's all that should matter.

Trust me, I completely know how you feel. It's a different situation, but I feel that since I got PG, I've lost a few of my friends too. I've always had a big circle of friends, all "party girls" like me, and now that I can't drink and hang with them I feel left out. I guess it's just life, all part of moving on, you know? Hang in there hon!
