Remember when....

People used to blog all the time and now they don't?! -I do!

People used to text me asking me what's up, wanting to hang out, or how I was doing?! -I do!

People would WANT to talk to me on Facebook and now I have over 500 friends and talk to maybe 15-20ish, MAYBE?! -I do!

People would call me and we'd just talk on the phone for hours about the most random stuff and we'd always vent about things that were bothering us or frustrating us?! -I do!

Man, it's a crazy busy life we live in now a days. Don't you think? There's Facebook, Twitter, Blogging, texting, IM-ing, chat rooms, and so much more! But that's just technology type things! Then you get work, school, sports, relationships, roomates, laundry, shopping, cleaning, and so much more after that.

But why is it that NOW I don't have those little conversations that I once had with my closest friends? Was it because I got a boyfriend? Was it because I moved home and I'm not right there in Orem waiting to hang out with them? Was it because I changed my lifestyle and stopped partying and doing things I wasn't supposed and have gone back to church and love the calling I have? It could be so many things but honestly, why? Why did things have to change? Have *I* changed?

I guess basically what I'm saying is, I miss my friends. I miss knowing what's going on in their lives. I miss the times we had together going to movies, lunch, dinner, parties, or anything else. I've, of course, made new friends... but what ever happened to the friends I had a year ago? A month ago? 5 years ago? Am I missing something?

I hope this is just a phase I'm going through, a learning experience.

I heard a quote once, "Friends come and go, but family is always constant." Maybe my family just needs to be my friends. I'm seeing this quote more true in my life as of late, sad but true.
