disconnected
for my whole life i’ve always been super invested in my friendships. i keep a pretty small circle but i’ll stay loyal to the select few forever.
once i became a mom, i knew the friendships i had would be different. i have some great friends so my circle didn’t really change.
although my friends are great- all of them, emphasis on the all of them, are super far away from having a family with kids. our conversations are always about who they’re dating or trying to date, who’s hot, concerts, the gym, and just things that i really don’t care about anymore....is that sad? i wanna be there for my friends and all, but it’s just hard keeping up with things that i don’t take part in. & i can’t talk to them about my mom life cause they won’t understand.
i’m happy to have my cousins and brother and sister in law to talk to about mom life. i love spending time with them & getting more than “damn that sucks. You’ll get through it” as a response. 🥴
But i can’t blame my friends for not getting it cause they’re not parents. and none of them will be for a while. so i’m out here befriending people at viv’s my gym classes and so far that’s going well haha
i will always make time for my friends & i’ll always plan things so we can all get together. i love them so much, it’s hard feeling disconnected to them. still trying to find a way back in. been making dinner dates with my friends lately and so far its been ok. glad we can bond over sports cause that’s really the only thing i care about now besides mom life. i don’t even listen to music anymore unless i have to make a set. ugh. idk.
