It's amazing to me how quickly things change and how fast we need to grow. Since the last time I posted anything on this blog, I've gone through a lot. I've dated, had my heart re-broken, gone to a wedding, saw my friend's new baby, saw my friend's new nieces, finished MA school, got a new job, got fucked over, got yelled at, saw my sister off to college, laughed my ass off, cried my eyes out, went to London, made new friends, lost old friends, figured out that your true friends will love you no matter who you become or where you go, and realized that family is more important than I ever knew.
This Saturday, one of my oldest friends is getting married to her high school sweetheart. I wish them a life of incredible health and happiness together. I hope their wedding is everything they've ever dreamed of. I hope it's a gorgeous day (as weather.com says it should be) and I hope they remember it forever. Alex & Mike, congratulations. I love you both.
When such a close friend of mine gets married I can't help but think of my own future. How did they know they were meant to be together forever? Do they go through times of great passion and then times of just pure friendship? Is "the one" really the only one for you? And if it is, how do you know you picked the right person? I have only had one healthy relationship in my life, and we broke up due to serious confusion. I don't know what it takes to make a relationship work because I clearly never stood a chance.
