What About Your Friends?

As you get older, the huge herd of friends that you had when you were a kid seems to have thinned out to a few. People grow and change and the friendships that we've known then, dont quite fit the bill anymore. What we required then in a friendship doesnt necessary apply now and those unfulfilling friendships just didnt carry through into adulthood.

I carried a few friendships into adulthood. Ive also ended friendships in adulthood. Ive noticed that when men get involved, friendships change. You put a dick in the mix and shit gets fucked up. Ask any woman.

I have had so many friends "disappear" when they had boyfriends or husbands. It was like they were just hanging out with you until they found something better to do. Magically, they would re-appear when the guy was gone. Dont get me wrong, I have no problem with you getting your groove on, but is it so hard to get your groove on AND keep your friends?

Not everyone does the disappearing act when a man comes along. Some people know how to balance both.

But, this past year I have met some pretty amazing women who have become friends. These women come from all different walks of life, yet we've all met at the same crossroads. Ive met cancer survivors, incredible self-taught photographers, nurses, single moms, and others. Im in awe of them all.
