I was doing some self-assessment training stuff in the office at Job A tonight. At some point one of my high school friends called me (since I was on the clock, I let it go to voicemail. Plus I didn’t really want to talk to him). But we started talking about friends and growing apart and how things and lives change.
My mentor mentioned her high school friends, who hang in bad circles. My manager said it was tough when you get older and all your friends get married and you lose a lot of what you once had in common, and how being lonely wasn’t so bad.
I don’t think I can do that. I rely so highly on the people in my life. Many (read:most) of the most important folks in my life live far away now, and this is a tough enough adjustment.
I need you guys. You make me happy.
