I went to hang out with my extended fam and now I'm kinda sad

The only time I felt like this was when I was living alone. I always felt that there was something or somethings missing. My parents, brother and sister were at a different city, and I didn't have an immediate support system that I could readily lean on to. Plus the fact that it was early in my career, and there were a lot of things that I needed to accomplish. Yet I couldn't do it because there were some obstacles in front of me like finishing school, finding a job, etc.

When I get in a place in my life, I usually go back to my roots and see where I came from and I realize all of the things I have done have gotten me where I am today. I usually have a place or someone that I go to help me get back to seeing things.

maybe Im not getting what your saying.. but maybe I am. lol. for me, I went through this thing where I was fine and content. I have my husband and kids but because of being a full time mom I didn't have friend time.I felt pretty lonely really. like I had no friends at all. so then I started talking to my old best friend from school. we went out a couple times for drinks and also went to the casino and bingo. I was living in the country at this time and she kept asking me why dont I move back to the city. then we could spend more time together and so on. being that I really missed having friends, I did just that. I sold my animals, packed up our stuff and moved back to my home town. the dreams I had of living in the country and raising my kids there and just living that country life, I left behind and came back to the city. I have to say it was a pretty bad mistake. I still have my hubby n kids but I still really have no friends. Im in the house with the kids too much to be able to be out and about. and the friend I left it all behind for to be able to spend so much time with, she hardly talks to me. if I could go back and change things, I would go back to following what I wanted in the first place. our friends can come in and just shake us all up and make us change our plans in an instant. but what we shouldd do is follow our gut and do what will make us happy in the long run. hope this makes sence..

Yes. It all makes perfect sense. I am going through something like this right now also.

More than you will ever know. when I was young, I would take a paper and look at the pros and cons of things by writing everything down. Now, somethings don't fit that.

spending time with different friends makes you feel different like what you think you want we all grow and want different things and we are all different people but we think we want something we do it for a while and you want to move on to something different, in some cases just because your friend does an it looks good.. we just get a case of the grass is greener on the other side.

I have felt like this as well. Everybody looks at their friends or whoever at feels as if they are missing out on things in life when they're not. I thought I was missing out on hanging out with friends too, but I realized that friends are nice to have but they're not always important. My best friend now is my fiancee and I wouldn't trade her for anything. I love having her as my best friend. I still have other friends but I don't really hang out with them because I'm just at the age where I am thinking of more important things. Remember this, You must crawl before you walk, walk before you leap, and leap before you jump. Don't just jump into a situation head first, think of the pros and cons of the decision you're thinking of making.
