Picky are we?

It's funny who you pick and choose as your close or even everyday friends. I know for me the personalities I just so happen to be attracted to are far different then what I had maybe 5-6 years ago. As I'm slowly becoming a young adult my social interests has taken an almost complete 180 along with my friendships.

Back then it was okay to have a couple of friends here and there that liked to party until the sun came up. I didn't mind the ones that had no jobs or ambition. I also didn't care if one had endless drama from day to day.

That's all changed now.

Partying every weekend has never peaked my interest and doesn't really now either. I actually prefer going to a restaurant and mingling there. (haha...*oink oink*) As far as no job/ambition having friends. I had one of those and it sucked. I actually decided to cut ties with her just a few months back because I realized this wasn't what I wanted to surround myself with. Don't get me wrong. I wasn't a bitch and said, "Hey, you don't have a job in this tough economy, loser. It's over!." No, not like that. The stories long, but to simplify it this friend's parents were non ambitious and I think it just rubbed off onto her. No matter how hard I tried to push her up she just preferred to be down and with a different type of crowd. No more wasting my time and energy on helping others when I need to save that for myself.

Now as far as drama goes. Oh geez.

Drama was exciting to me back then. I got all the scoop first hand from my friends and it was like an adventure story. Now it just gives me painful headaches. I don't like hearing negativity all day everyday from the same person.....or anyone at that matter. Next time we hang out, guess what? I know it's going to be all about them and more drama that they don't want to get themselves out of. *Blah*

I've been fortunate enough to meet some new great faces. Working in a more professional environment and attending college has definitely helped me find the type of friends I could relate to. My friends now are great. We can talk about school, work, networking, future goals, money, traveling plans, etc.

I just have to admit. People change......and eventually so do your circle of friends.(maybe not your very close or best ones. :P )  It's something I had to face.... I felt guilty at first thinking it was me....and yeah, it was! I just had different interests as I got older and couldn't relate to theirs anymore. That's all. It's normal and we all go through it. :)
