things change before you know it sometimes

i realized today that i am becoming an outsider of a group of friends that i used to be really tight with. it's not really a lack of 'tightness' per say that opened my eyes to it, but instead it was just a realization that i'm just not included the same way anymore. kind of depressing when you think about it. i guess there are bigger things to worry about in life, but close friends are the walking sticks on the trail of life... they're what keep you going when you're too tired to go on. cheesy analogy? maybe, but it has some truth in it.

in reality, i am still really close with a couple of the friends, but i just never see them it feels like. i guess i am a bit of a loner these days. how'd that happen??
