You Can’t Count on your Friends When I started my biz, I was 23 years old and had just returned back home after living in Nagpur for four years. I spent the next few years going back and forth between Indore and Bhopal in order to maintain in contact with college friends. In a strange way, I felt like I needed them to know that I still cared about our friendship and I would spend money that I didn’t have in order to stay connected to them. But soon, those trips were far in-between and slowly, I started texting and calling them less frequently. At first, I felt guilty. Like I hadn’t done enough to keep them around in my life. But those feelings quickly faded, my co-workers had become my new friends and I didn’t have enough time or money to continue taking trips to Bhopal.. I partied and shared my frustrations with my co-workers for the next two years. But then I started diploma training in automation and had to quit my job. Shortly after, I lost contact with the group of co-workers that I had befriended and my graduate classmates became my new friends. And so and and so forth, the people that I once knew and shared great memories with would come and go for brief moments at a time, only to be replaced by new people. So, if you’re like me, someone who cares about friendships, understand that the group of people who you are friends with now, will look differently in a few years. And that’s okay. Don’t fight it. Rather, enjoy the time you share together. Enjoy telling each other those secrets that you’re too scared to openly admit to others. Enjoy those late night drives down the beach, eating your favorite fast food burgers, listening to that song that will soon be a reminder of those wonderful memories. Appreciate time and moments. And please, try not to waste too much time on people who will drain you mentally. _____ #aionioscreations #aioniosjewelry #handmadestuff #handicraftsinindia #culturedpearls #freshwaterpearljewelry #myjewellery #earstuds #paachi #hangingearrings #longearrings #pearlstrings #fortheloveofjewelry #ledbyheart #pune #motheranddaughtergoals #madebymommy (at Pune, Maharashtra) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVSKsRrIkEd/?utm_medium=tumblr
