This week I was contacted by two of my old college friends from my early twenties. One of them I haven’t seen in four years and the other I haven’t seen in about a year. As I have grown older I realize more and more how important real friendships are. Although sometimes I think the hardest part about being a woman is having women friends. Many of my women friends have let me down in one way or another but I now realize that sometimes friends just don’t know what to say or do in certain situations.
The friend that I haven’t seen in four years was my best friend my junior year of college and we had a lot of fun together. But shortly after our junior year we took a turn in two different directions. She got engaged to be married and I was no where near ready to get married because I was experiencing a lot of emotional problems. Because she was about to get married she was not able to understand the problems I was dealing with and eventually she and I slowly grew apart. Since then, I have overcome my emotional problems, and now enjoy my life with my new husband.
My husband and I are supposed to have dinner with my two old friends and their husbands in July and I am really looking forward to seeing them again. I really hope that we can become friends again and accept each other for who we have become. I would really like to rekindle our friendship. I think our friendship is even more special now because we share many of the same memories and experiences from our early twenties.
