the times they are a-changing.

As it has been pointed out to me, it's been months since I've updated this thing. I'm not a regular blogger and in some ways, this is my attempt to keep a diary. My written diary is rarely used as it is but I think I'll make it a new year resolution to actually use this blog. Here goes:

For the last 5 months or so, I've been single. The first time I've been single in over three years and it's been nice. I've rediscovered myself and all the people around me. There's a difference between the friends I made in childhood and those I have found as my life has progressed along its course. I have been extremely lucky in that those friends that I made when I was too young to realize just how important a friend was are the same people who are still a part of my life today. They have supported me and have been there for me through all the trials and tribulations of our youths. We have faced the challenges posed to us by the very fact of growing up and discovering who we are individually and yet, here we are again; together. The years have definitely passed and I feel different now than I did 5 or 6 years ago and yet, these ladies are still the ones holding constant in my life. I am more than grateful, I am blessed.

As we move towards the years ahead, I question the challenges that we have yet to face. One thing I am sure: we have survived and thrived to grow stronger and it has not been without the support of each other. We will continue to do so; together.
