Do you ever have those days when all the sudden it just seems like all these old people from your past keep on popping into your head? That's how my day's been.
All day long little random things will remind me of people that I forgot even existed and it’s really weird when I stop and think about all the people that I’ve met through my short little 28 years of life. What’s really sad though is that most of those people I’ve forgotten. Of course there’s the few that I’ve kept in contact with and even those that I haven’t kept in contact with that have made such an impression on my life that I could never forget them, but there are also those who I’ve spent significant amounts of time with whose names I wouldn’t even be able to remember if I ran into them on the street.
Is that a reflection of me? Am I really that self-absorbed that I can just forget people like that or is that normal? Anyway, so today has been a day of thinking about great people that I haven’t thought of in a long time. It makes me sad, because these are people that I always thought would be a part of my life, but now I struggle to even remember their last name.
I guess it seems kind of real because I’m getting ready to move and there’s a lot of great people here that are a part of my life that I’m really sad to leave. Reality tells me that down the road in a few years I won’t even hardly remember them anymore either, but right now I couldn’t even imagine them not being a part of my life.
I guess this is all part of life right? It just seems odd to me that I place such a high value on people and relationships, but then just forget those people that I value so much. I think I feel kind of bad about moving on and letting go because I feel that I'm doing an injustice to the people that I'm letting go of.
As childish and selfish as it seems I really like the friends that I have and don't really have a desire for new friends. I guess you could say I'm comfortable. What scares me is that I know that all of that comfort is about to change and in just a few months my world won't be the same.
I want to embrace the change and the new people that come into my life and learn a lot - about life, people and myself through this season of change!

well i am glad that you are one of my old friends that has stayed in my life through countless moves, and the foreverness of not even seeing eachother. .
it's pretty special !
on another note, whatever happened to Sarah Cofer? ?
I'm glad your still around in my life too krista! I'm so thankful for your friendship!
I think Sarah's maybe living in Missoula? I haven't seen her in years! She used to work at the little drive-thru espresso bar my mom would go to every morning so my mom would always tell me what she was up to, but last I heard she was in Missoula now. I'd love to get back in touch with her!
