More thoughts on Happy Medium

Ok, so i've been doing some thinking after my last post. Yes, it's sad about my friends situation but at the same time it's just a part of life. As we get older our lives develop, change, & grow so it's only natural that everyone goes their separate ways eventually. We may grow apart from people because our interest in activities change, people move, or when people get married & have kids there just isn't that much free time anymore. I have come to accept that getting older means change...for the better. Better for who? Everyone! The upside to all this is that we can still be in touch with everyone by facebook, e-mail, webcams, & phone. The other upside for me is that since Nate & I have found friends within each other I didn't lose anyone to do all those fun things that I enjoy...i gained one! We like to do all the same things it's really awesome! We enjoy going to concerts, plays, museums, walking around the city, drawing, painting, sitting around watching tv...it's reshreshing :)  So no more mulling about with this whole situation. I have made certain choices in my life for a reason and I don't regret any of them.

Happy Medium?

So I've been living in Chicago for two years now, took a class at Columbia (my dream) last year, work is finally great, & I'm engaged. I don't think that I could ask for anything better. Except one thing...friends. I've sacraficed seeing my close friends often for making dreams and goals come true. I asked myself this question tonight, why is there always one thing out of balance in my life at all times? Maybe the universe is trying to keep me grounded or I wasn't meant to have a balanced life? Before I moved my personal life was a wreck, my job wasn't going well, I wasn't sure about going to school for business anymore & I was just unhappy with my surroundings. So I thought making a change was just what I needed. But I realized I miss my friends. I am going to be getting together this week to see two of my friends & I'm giddy as a school girl. But living 50 miles away doesn't give me the opportunity to just call them up last minute & get dinner or grab a drink. Sometimes I miss that the most.
