My people

It is February. December and January are over. I know this is very much stating the obvious but those two months were big months for me. My two best friends both decided to move out of the country, the one left in December and the other in January.

Now I obviously do have other friends, I'm not a weird loner with only two friends, but these two were my people, the ones I talk to...about stuff. And now they are gone. In today's world they are literally just a Skype or Whatsapp message away, I know, but there is a big difference between talking over electronic devices and talking face to face. I miss them both already, I missed them before they were even gone because I knew what it would mean for me once they left. I was over-the-moon happy for both of them because I know they both made choices which will undoubtedly change their lives forever and for what I believe will be only good, but I'm still sad that they are gone. I encouraged them both to leave and got excited and didn't feel too sad actually saying goodbye, but in my heart I know that I will miss them every day. I think it is strange how you can miss someone so much more as soon as you know they aren't just down the road anymore...what is the age-old saying...absence makes the heart grow fonder. There is a reason age-old sayings exist.

There is no real message or point to this post, it might just be an acknowledgment to the world and to myself that yes...they are gone and I miss them. You know who you are and you both know that I love you dearly and miss you every day. 

Have fun.
