Getting Old
While chatting on gmail and talking on the phone with two of my best friends from high school and undergrad it really hit me how the people that used to be leading players in my life are now just making cameo appearances.
That moment occurs when you finally have that long conversation with them and then can't believe that you could live your life without them. You promise yourself that you would make more of an effort to not lose them again in the hussle of life, but then months later you have that same conversation and same feeling of disbelief that you let it happen again. The next thing you know, you're not even on the top 100 friends list anymore. How depressing. I don't want to lose those people who knew me at my stupidest and still kept me around.
This may sound stupid, but weddings seem to show your rank as a friend/family member. You know best friends are in the wedding party, then friends you kinda lost touch with but are still important to you get the invitations...what about your best friend growing up who gives you a phone call a week or two before the wedding?? What does that tell you?
I'm not bitter...
