In my 20’s I have lost friends, made new friends, and rekindled with old friends. Friendships change. People move, marry, have kids, and become a bit more selfish overall.... And it’s important to know that is okay. It is all just part of growing up. I am going into 30 so proud of the company I keep. We are all becoming who we are going to be and it shouldn’t be the same now as it was at 18. I watched four of my best friends lose their fathers in their twenties. My dad was always the one who was sick...not theirs...I lived in fear that one day that was going to be me. That I would have to face life without my dad.
