People Grow Up, People Grow Apart

Let's turn the pages back a little bit.

Graduation - A time in my life when I didn't want anything to change. I didn't want to finally have to grow up, and I didn't want to lose any one of my friends.

Helped at UCA - Once the 2011 school year started, I was "helping out" at UCA, so I was still able to catch up with my friends, and see them just as much as I used to! 

Got A Job - So I finally took the next step that every person has to take eventually. I got a job at Chick-fil-A. I started to make some new friends, and I started to work more and more.

Today - I work 4-5 days a week now. On my days off, I usually have something going on. My Chick-fil-A friends are more like family now, and I spend more time at CFA than I do at home.

My free time has slowly dwindled more and more, to where I actually had to break down and buy a planner, so I can remember what all I have going on in my life. I've made some tight friendships at Chick-fil-A with quite a few of my coworkers, and some of my old friendships have drifted away.

I remember talking to my Mom around the time of graduation, and telling her how I felt like I was already losing some friendships. She told me, "I remember being your age and thinking that I was going to be friends with my high school friends until we die. But here I am now, and I don't even know where one of those people are today." I was determined not to be like that. But it's only been less than a year, and I've majorly lost touch with a lot of good friends. I could blame it on my job, blame it on my ignorance, or just be real and say that I'm finally growing up.
