Pathetic
Lately I've been feeling lonely. Not in the sense that I have no one to talk to or that just hanging out with Dan isn't enough (because who could ever get enough of him?), but I have come to the realization that slowly, over time, I have lost all my friends. I don't have any real friends anymore, and I have to say that most of that is probably my fault. I have been so preoccupied with being married that I have forgotten about everything else and no longer make the effort to hang out with anyone. Some of it isn't my fault though, to be fair. Lianne moved to Dallas, Kasie moved to Utah, and Jessica got married. So, along with me being unmotivated to call anyone, everyone has moved away or are too busy to do anything. So, because of this, I find myself longing for a gal pal to just hang out with sometimes. Dan and I have several couples friends that we hang with quite a lot, but I would really like someone for just me. Is that weird? Am I being over dramatic? That's totally possible... I don't want anyone to think that I am unhappy, because I am the most happily married person on the planet and my life couldn't be more blessed, but I guess I'm just really missing my friends. Kasie has been telling me all about all these fun things that she is doing with her new friends in Utah and I just miss her. I miss going out with the girls and doing things. Anyways... That's my pathetic ranting for now.

Don't worry..my best friend went through this years ago when I was on my mission..then i went through it (still may be keeping one foot in). I feel this was sometimes....you are a very normal newly wed, still doesn't make up for feeling lonely. I need a bff around here too, someone to just call anytime and know you're not bugging them or annoying. ummm... what a girl to do. let me know when you find a answer!
ReplyDeletei totally had that happen to me a few years ago, too. i think in your first year of marriage, you just are so wrapped up in your cute spouse that you forget to call your friends. it takes a while to realize that your husband, although you love him so, cannot be EVERYTHING to you & you still need girlfriends.
ReplyDeletei have tried to make more of an effort this past year, but it is definitely hard...all of my friends have babies now & that just makes it even harder!
but brit, i love you & i am your friend! wish we lived closer so the hanging out could actually happen, but we can still chat!
xo.
