TRUTH - Day 9: Someone you didn’t want to let go, but just drifted.

Meg just wrote about how these questions are kinda cheesy . . . and I agree. I liked them at first because they required me to reflect on my life in the toughest of ways . . . but now these are just kinda silly. But like she said . . . I signed up for this!

I let a lot of people drift. My priorities in life are first my family, then work, followed by sometime for myself. And friends fall fourth. Seeing as how I don't have a lot of time for myself . . . I end up not having a lot of time or energy for friends. Although there have been plenty of great people and incredible friends that I have let slip away, I have to know my boundaries and what I realistically have the energy for. It took me awhile to stop apologizing for my priorities. I now know that the friends that end up drifting yet are okay with the few moments we have to catch up . . . even if it is just through facebook . . . are friends worth keeping because they respect what I have to give. Those are the friends worth giving my energy to.

Especially now with a child, one on the way, and hopefully more come, my first priority is more and more demanding leaving less time for myself and in some cases even less time for friends. The friends who are patient with my priorities and energy levels mean the very most to me and that is all I need . . . everyone else can peace out :)
