Opportunities Missed

[darkpaw]

I know I haven't posted in a long time, though I don't think that a lot of people really missed my sporatic updates. I also don't blame them, as I have done a poor job of keeping any of my social relationships healthy. I'd like to say this will change, but I don't know if that will happen

I had one of those when I was 13-14 (seriously). And, I spent about the next 12 years paying, in some way or another, for missing it.

Fortunately, the equilibrium that could/should have come from that time did get here, eventually. It can take a long time, but you can make it. You just gotta keep hanging on, don't let it defeat you. *hugs*

I have those moments, more often than I would like, where I feel a rather deep sense of regret and guilt for letting certain friends slip through the cracks. It's like you get siezed upon by a fit of nostalgia and suddenly remember people from your past who were there for you, with you, during important times in your life. And then, somehow, that bond weakens until you find yourself at the point of thinking "Gee, I wonder what happened to old so-and-so". It's not a good feeling.

Regarding your edit - that's cool you're able to get in touch with them! Reconnecting can be difficult ... rewarding when it works out, but emotionally draining when you just can't find the person you are looking for, or even worse, discover that with the rift that's grown they don't really seem interested in you any longer.

Good luck with things, and have a happy holidays!

When you post, I read it.

Good luck in renewing old acquaintances and building/strengthening new friendships.

*hugs* I've not only missed your posts here but also your presence at the furmeets! :(

Hope all is well with you. Happy holidays if I don't get to see you before then.
