Girlfriends

I turned 28 in October and it seems that my responsibilities for the first 25 years of my life were just as much as what I had for the last three years. No. Who am I kidding? They're actually not even half of what I have now. I got married and had a baby just about the time I reached my quarter-life and since then responsibilities just poured in, with the latter one making up for the most part of it. This is not to complain about it rather this is merely a declaration of how age or I guess more appropriately, one's life's events define responsibilities. It amazes me how whenever I get to talk to my girlfriends whom I practically grew up with, we start talking about motherhood, career decisions, and marriage! I look back and remember ourselves having 'what to wear on gimmicks?' and 'whose transportation are we using?' as our biggest problems and now we worry about having to raise our kids well, deciding whether our current career is the best for us, and whether our respective husbands/partners will ever change!! Haha! Well thankfully, the last one is not a common topic of our conversations. At the same time, it saddens me that we are not together in sharing these experiences together. If not for the technological advances that make it possible for us to exchange stories instantly, the demands of our daily lives would just make it impossible for us to even say hi! Although, I still believe that nothing can still replace for a chit chat over dinner or coffee or while our nails are being painted! Gawd, I miss my girlfriends! :( But as they say, the only thing that's permanent is change. I'm so happy that all of us have changed in a good way...in fact, in the best way possible that is. To me it's enough to know that they are all doing alright and that they are happy. And at the end of the day they will always be my friends who were with me when I was still wearing training bras, when I still had bushy eyebrows, who went with me to soirees, who cried with me on my first heartbreak, and who are now the godmothers of my little girl. We go all the way back and we weill definitely go all the way more! I love them to pieces!
