Discovering your Friends are Associates

In life you grow and when you grow there are things, people and places that just can't come along with you. It's a fact that unfortunately won't get any easier to deal with.

I have grown to be the type of person that if I recognize that someone or something is not good for me I will make provisions for that thing or person to no longer contribute to my quality of life. In the past maybe 5 years I have had to do a lot of cleaning in my friends circle and although it isn't easy it is something that needs to be done. I personally don't think that there is anything wrong with changing the relationship level of people in your life. I have had to do it several times in my life and actually very recently.

When I first moved to New York I didn't know anyone. It wasn't until I moved into my own apartment and during the 2013 storm Hurricane Sandy that I actually met some women that became my friends. The week of the storm my then roommate asked if she a few people could come crash at my place until the storm cleared out. I of course welcomed them and in two days had a house full of people. Being that I had been living alone in an unfamiliar place I was excited to have guests. Three of the girls that came over where actually my neighbors during my first month in NY and two where in my masters program. We had all hit if off pretty well and decided to hang out more even after the storm and they were able to return to there housing.

Over the next two years we got really close. Shared a lot of personal moments, had your typical girls night out, Saturday brunch, and even many nights of tears. I thought I had found the people that would become my family away from home. That was until I go engaged, moved out of the city and started a whole new life.

When I first moved the group would take turns to spend time whether it was in the burbs or in the city, mostly in the city though. Things seemed to be normal but eventually you could tell that the relationship between me and the rest of the group where starting to shift. To be fair I wasn't the only person experiencing life changes. Everyone was going through their own personal shift but to me it seemed that mine was the biggest and effected everyone the most.


To get down to the point I had decided with my fiance that we didn't want to have a big wedding or wedding party. We also decided that we wanted to have a very private and intimate wedding ceremony and a big reception to celebrate with with extended family and friends. Once I informed my NYC friends about this change they were not too happy. It was to a point that it brought about feelings they had towards me ever since I had gotten engaged and my life had began to shift. They had thought that I had essentially cut them out of my wedding and felt that as my friends of two years I should include them in the ceremony. I thought that it was my wedding and I should be able to make whatever decision I wanted and not answer to anyone. I understood their pain and respected it but I wasn't going to allow anyone to guilt me for this decision.

It has been over a month and a half since that conversation and almost a month since my wedding. It turned out that only two of the four women showed up to my wedding reception after I invited everyone.

The point of all of this is that even though things played out the way they did I am not sad. I cherish the time that I had with those women and the moments we shared. I have grown to know and accept that people will grow and out grow each other. That's life and in life change must happen.

On Losing Your Job

June 1, 2015

Today I lost my job.

I'm not sure why I even decided to write this down. Maybe to release it a little more. Maybe to set reality into place. Maybe for no reason at all. But I lost my job and after 13 years I am unemployed. Not sure how I should feel at this moment. I am unaware of what to do next. I am sure of one thing though, that I am a King's Kid and I can conquer anything.

In a total of two weeks I would have graduated with my masters, gotten married and fired from a job that I believed was my dream job.

It's my prayer during this time that my faith doubles and even triples in size. It's my prayer that I never forget who my God is. If anything this will be a big testimony to who God is and what he can do. I'm sure that me and my family will be OK, because my God can perform miracles. He can turn water into wine. My God is on the thrown.

Thank you God for providing me this opportunity to trust you and watch you work.

If there ever comes a time where my faith begins to fall Lord I pray that you pull me closer and remind me of who you are.

Love,

Your daughter
