Growing Up
Everything changes. I learned this years ago. People always come and go in our lives and relationships change and evolve as we grow up.
Most of us don't keep the same relationships we had in high school and if we do they aren't close like they were back then. Jon and I are an exception, sorta. We met in highschool and ended up together after a big breakup. Forever isn't all it seems though, not when it involves two different people. We all grow up, unless of course you're in a rock n' roll band...or if you're my husband. That's how we're different, at least it's the main way.
Winter for instance...there really is not much signifigance to winter for me anymore except that I do enjoy the snow and cold weather and I pretty much can't stand the heat of summer so Winter is always the better season for me, but it isn't magical, that I leave to my children and their imaginations. Spring and Fall are nice too.
I don't have fairytales in my head anymore or imaginary fun because I am surrounded by people who don't really live in the same world as I do. My friends are people I work with mostly...Either at the dojo or with the charities. Not the girls I used to hang out with down at the corner or on the boardwalk in Asbury Park.
I have too much to do to go to every show, packing up and flying to Florida to stand in the heat alone, stopped being fun about 10 years ago.
I know that I've grown up a lot but I don't really think I've ever changed so dramatically that I'm a different person.
Growing up isn't a bad thing, it's what everyone does...Jon, maybe you could try it sometime.
