true friends

This year, I made more efforts to meet new people. By organizing lots of social events, I did meet new people. In return, I received invitations to events and met more people.

Now that it's the end of the year, I am taking a break and assessing.

Some of these people will not be in my life because it's time to let go. It's been hard at times because the friendships sometimes grew demanding. I still haven't quite learned how to just be with like-minded spirits. Part of being like-minded is how much space I need in a friendship. Choosing to focus on career and a new man, I am looking for friends who are at the same point in life.

I felt guilty for not doing as much for others, but now the guilt is replaced by the realization that many ties are simply lengthened but not broken. It's especially hard with the guy friends because now one person is taking up more of my energy. Still, I send out good wishes to everyone as the year comes to a close.

Hope your year was fantastic too!
