I have a good group of friend now. We are all between 22-24 years of age. But they are the ones that stuck around through the years so I have weeded out the unworthy!  In fact, 3 of my 4 good girlfriends I have known since I was 4 or younger! So...that is how I know that they are going to last! Then the other one is actually a friend I met through one of my childhood friends and we click so well...like we are the same person split in two!
I sometimes feel like some of them aren't as invested in our friendship anymore...but when I really think about it I realize it is because we have different schedules. They work evenings and weekends and I work a full work week and have evenings and weekends off.
I am lucky to have a good group, but we can't always get together at the same time anymore because of work/school schedules and boyfriends. I generally see them one on one now. Things change when you start adding other things to your plate!
I hope you find some good girlfriends to hang out with. It really is a nice thing to have. Woman are great!!! |
Yes they are great. It's fun to have a nice chat with all of them. A lot of my friend's i've known since i was very young but along the yrs some of them changed a lot of moved. One of them went to my h.s. but started hanging out with the wrong ppl and dropped out freshman yr and had a baby. She is not the same person, but ive seen her once or twice and now she is trying to raise her kid and learning the hard way. My other friend moved to Florida in 6th grade but now her mom lives here again and she is here for a while so i am soo happy and plan to hang out. We have always been good friends, shes a really great friend. Some other friends have kinda drifted, as they've gone to diff. schools, doing diff. things but i still see them sometimes. But i dont have a close group where we all know each other and we can all go out.
