It's funny isn't it how we change. I'm certainly not the same person I was five years ago, I don't think I'm the same person I was just 12 months ago. I'm changing all the time and do you know what? I like it.
A and I met three years ago, we've lived together for over two. Before we met if anybody would have told me that I would meet someone from IC, give up my home, career, whole way of life and relocate nearly 300 miles away I would have laughed in their face. I'd gone through a messy break up and lived to tell the tale, my life was good. I had a good job, my own house, car, fantastic family and friends nearby, lived in a city I loved, fantastic social life and was just starting to really enjoy the delights of being single again. I had no reason to move.
No reason whatsoever – only I fell in love. He wanted me and I wanted to be with him. So I came.
I left my job, my home, my family, my friends, my fantastic social life and gained a whole new way of living. This city girl moved to the country to a big house in a big space. I moved in the winter and the first thing I'd noticed was how dark is here. I was shocked just how dark, really dark, stars twinkle brighter so much brighter here.
I came here with enthusiasm, dreams intact. This was going to be the best move of my life. I worked hard at making friends locally. I joined the committee of local charity, involved myself with the local school. I was friendlier than friendly to all I met. Two and half years later I've failed to make a single friend, locally. Gosh, that's terrible isn't it? What's wrong with me? <Cue virtual hugs if you are feeling generous>
I've made friends in London, quite a few in fact. I've made friends through attending a local-ish munch. I've made friends in other parts of 'the south', but none locally. None that I could pop over for a coffee. Do you know what I really miss? A girl-friend who I can spend time with, talk, get drunk and be all girly with.
Gone completely off subject haven't I? I wanted to make the point that what we wanted yesterday isn't necessarily what we want tomorrow. We are all changing all the time.
