As we grow older, it’s inevitable that we also grow apart.
Daily texts and calls turn into monthly obligations. Sleepovers and movie nights become a “I’ll fill you in” lunch date. Swapping gossip and secrets transitions into an update or two on general life. The person you once were so close to is now nothing more than an acquaintance you’re lucky to hear anything from.
Believe it or not, you’ve been left behind.
You get lonelier and lonelier. Priorities have shifted and you are no longer one of them. Turns out you weren’t as close as you thought. The people you held so dear to your heart never considered you as anything valuable. It feels like you’re worthless, as if you weren’t good enough to keep around.
Was it you? We’re you truly just not good enough? Maybe. Or perhaps they were just lessons you needed to learn about relationships. Those people were put there to teach you that looks can be deceiving. “No[t] all that glisters, gold,” as Thomas Gray would smugly say.
Finding your own people is difficult and has taken a new meaning now. You need someone to fill the gap the others left behind. There’s no one to really talk to or to enjoy now, so you try to put yourself out there. Though, doesn’t everyone else already have their own relationships? You’d be at a disadvantage stepping into someone else’s life. They already have bonds that you don’t. Most Meredith’s already have their own Christina’s. There is no room for you. Once again, you aren’t a priority compared to others.
You’re all alone. On the Brightside, it’s cheaper on Christmas gifts.
Yeah, that doesn’t make me feel better, either.
