"I miss you..."

This is a text I received from a friend who I have drifted a part from. Being a young adult can be a very hard and confusing time. It can take some time to break free from the "young" to the "Adult" part of life.

In the last several years, I have had a massive turn over of friendships. Of course in the last several years my life has changed dramatically, personally. I went from living on my own, enjoying the "single" life with really no responsibility but meeting my basic needs and paying bills. To falling in love with someone, having a beautiful daughter with him and becoming his wife. With another baby on the way, my life is becoming less about me and more about my family.

So in the last few years, I have learned that our lives have many seasons... same with our friendships. As our lives change, so do our priorities and our focus' and the people we surround ourselves with. I have times when I feel a little sad with my "lack" of friendships but most of the time I am content, such as now. I think about the friends I have in my life at this moment and I know some will not be around forever, our season has come as friends and it will eventually go. These thoughts are few and far between because right now, I would like to cherish the time I have with them and embrace the things we can share and learn from one another.

In the past, some friendships parted pretty dramatically and some naturally. It is my hope that the future will bring peace and what ever will be will be. There is no sense fighting the inevitable and causing strain on something that was once a lovely relationship.

The person who sent the text has gone without a response from me. At this point, its hard to know what to say. "I miss you too" wouldnt be 100% true. I might be wrong in not responding or I might be right. I am not going to worry about what is right or wrong. It is my focus to stay on course, living in the moment and moving toward the future, whatever is in store for me and my family. My husband is my best friend ultimately.
