What's been slightly bothering me lately is that a few friends have been complaining that I don't make enough time for them anymore. Its not like I was making a conscious effort to stay away or anything and so I was trying to figure out what brought about that concern not by one or two friends but a bit more.
I'm still living in the same city. Have the same friends. And I'm still not working. So I wonder what's different?
Suddenly occurs to me that;
a) I am no longer on holidays and have decided to look for a job after living the life of royalty for a year. Yes, job hunting is keeping me busy. Very busy.
b) I have decided to strictly go back to my weight loss program so I can achieve my goals for this year and that means being choosy about when I decide to eat out and party.
Ever been in a similar situation? You've set yourself a goal and suddenly all your energies are focussed on just trying to achieve it so much so that everything else moves to the background?
I wonder if its such a bad thing after all. I don't think it should be. You are going after things that are important to you. In doing so you're growing as a person. You are changing.
Aaaaah.... it so occurs to me then that the real problem lies in the fact that things are changing. All changes happening in my life are affecting my family, friends and the people around me.
Sometimes, apart from communicating and communicating really well, why you're doing something that you're doing there is nothing you can do. Hopefully I've done my bit.
I'm confident that the relationships that are important will meet me on the other side.
