Life is strange. We are constantly changing.
What has been changing the most for me is my interests. I would rather stay in, than go out. Would rather make dinner, then eat out. Would rather spend all my time with Nick, then meet new people.
Sometimes its difficult not being on the same page as your friends. Talking with other young people whom I work with and are married or about to get married could relate to this feeling.
Its a sensitive subject for me, as I am so close with my friends. . . . it scares me to think of how these relationships might change after I am married. Not only do I live in a different city then most of them, but as a new nurse I am trying to balance my work life/personal life.
It is just something that has been on my mind lately, since it seems that we are all so busy, and on different schedule. I am coming to the realization that, you have to MAKE the time for one another. Very rarely do any of us just have "free time", there is always something that we could be doing. But we must make our friendships of high importance, and make it a priority to devote time to one another.
Simple things like a text, an email, a voicemail. I know it is unrealistic to think weekly lunch dates are possible.
Are any of you dealing with trying to maintain this balance? Or feeling like you are in a different place in your life then some of the people who you are closest with?
If you are..You are not alone.
Change is scary, exciting, and intimidating.
19 days until I turn the page and enter the married life.
I am absolutely giddy just thinking about marrying my fiance. Yet nervous how it may have an affect on my other relationships.
Just finished working 25 of the last 48 hours. And up and at it again tomorrow. No rest over here in my part of the world.
Take care of yourselves and the ones you love.
Love is all you need.

And now bam! You're married. :) But, I know what you mean. I used to have a LOT more free time than I do now (I should be doing homework right meow, I promise I will. Ha) I have never not had free time. And I didn't necessarily spend that free time wisely. But I feel as though I am on a mission now. I love being with friends, but I appreciate my alone time too. I used to spend a lot of my free time alone just because I liked it, but now I wish I would have pushed myself to get out a bit more. Because I don't have nearly as much. But I have goals, and I am happy with what I do have more than I have in the past. I have awesome family, dogs, my dream school, dream dude (I feel!), and still friends, and I am more in tune with my mental hum, if that makes sense. Which used to drive me nuts, it still does sometimes. Trying to find a balance. Listen to...Trying to Find A Balance by Atmosphere today. Haha.
