After feeling pretty down about myself this past week, my best friend texted me today and said she'd be in the city this afternoon and wanted to know if we could do lunch.
Of course I said yes!
It's just what I needed to, to be around someone who I know cares about me. It lifted my spirits, because I know I have wonderful friends. And those 8-9 girls in my class, will soon be a thing of the past.
My best friend and I talked over a lovely meal at Applebee's, both catching each other up on the past month of not seeing each other. And I let her know how I was seriously getting frustrated and discouraged with the social aspect of school, or lack thereof, maybe even cried a bit.
But since that lunch this afternoon I have decided that I'm going to try and not get myself down over this issue anymore. There's only a month left of classes after the Spring Break which begins at 7:00pm tomorrow when my last class of the week finishes. Then those girls who have made a clique that excludes me, will be gone. They are most likely moving away and I won't have to see them anymore. They don't deserve my tears, and they have most definitely missed out on getting to know a wonderful person (if I do say so myself).
I'm very grateful for the people who are in my life, as they will likely be a part of my life for a very long time. We may not live around each other anymore, but I know they are there for me nonetheless.
So yeah, that's definitely what I needed today. And in 2 days I'll be off to see J for almost a whole week. Can't wait!
It's such a wonderful feeling having someone there just when you need them. Virtual friends are great, but someone who is physically there, that you can make faces at, see the tissue stuck to the bottom of your shoe when you leave the restroom and give you a great big hug is even better, hands down!
ReplyDeleteI really need someone like that, aside from my kids, I mean.
Hugs
That's the best I can do from here! :)
I still really appreciate it :)
DeleteWhether in person or not, as long as I know someone is there for me, I'm happy.
One of my other best friends just moved across the world to Australia, and had been living across the country previously, so most of our conversations happened through skype, yet I still consider her one of my best friends.
I would like you to know that if you wanted me to be your friend, I would be honoured. I know you are eventually headed for NB. But someone recently told me that there is a triangle of cities in NB that are known as The Silicon Valley of the Maritimes. I could end up there if I widen my search locale for work.
ReplyDeleteI am always grateful for new friends :)
DeleteI actually don't know if I'm headed for NB after this though, J and I were discussing Ottawa or further west. More job opportunities out there.
