Growing Up

I’m not so fond of this age and growing up. I miss when things were simpler. It feel’s to me like so many people are moving on with their life’s without me and/or I’m not moving on.
Some friends are on missions, others are preparing for a mission. Others are getting married.

I obviously don’t have a ton of contact with friend that are on missions. Yes there is letter writing but that is not quit the same. I’ve very glad I have friends serving missions however I miss them and the time I got to spend with them it’s hard going from seeing them all the time to not seeing them and sharing experiences together. I can’t help but be reminded of things we did together in the past and think of the things we could be doing.

Katie and Mandy are talking and preparing for missions. I’m happy and sad for that. Mission just brings a lot of mixed emotions. I’m not sure how I will be able to deal with life when they are gone also. It will be very hard that’s for sure!

Now I’ve had a good amount of friends get married, after all that’s part of life. It’s fun to watch them be in love and start a new family however most of it I watch from a distance and it really doesn’t affect me too much. It’s a little different when it’s one of your best friends! I’m very happy for Sherstin and Anthony don’t get me wrong it’s just another life change for some reason she would rather be with Anthony then me! I just don’t get it! Haha Ok yes I do, or at least I try to. However that is just another friend I’m losing, yes she does at least live in the same state as I do but that does not mean I spend much time with her. Since I use to hangout with her usually once a week at least and now I’m lucky if it’s once a month, I’m gratefully for the time I do get to hangout with her I just miss the way things were.

I’m sure everyone goes though challenges of growing up (at least I hope they do so I’m not alone.) It’s part of life and I hope to look back in a few years and maybe miss life like this.
Just a note: I thought about leaving names out for others sake but decided not to, I think it’s better just to be honest and open. I hope this does not make anyone upset or come back to bit me in the butt. It’s just how I feel.
