#14 I rekindled friendships

After I graduated college and started working my first "adult" job, I completely fell off with the majority of my friendships. I do believe this contributed to my depression a ton because I was not able to vent like I was used to or just have the company of good people. I refused to let myself believe my friendships were dying, but as time went on it was a fact I could no longer ignore. I had no idea what was going on in some of my most closest friends' lives and it was embarrassing finding stuff out on Facebook. After I quit my job I decided it was time to make a serious change. i reached out to friends, i travelled the distance to make sure we met up and got to see each other. I started putting in the effort again and my old friendships were able to come back to life. It was a very humbling experience but an experience I truly needed to experience nonetheless. The saying is true, sometimes you never really appreciate people until they're no longer in your life anymore. While not all my friendships were able to be saved, I'm happy I got to save the ones I did.
