Friendless?

As I get older, I realize it's a lot harder to keep and maintain friends. Whether it's due to differing schedules or a lack of similarities. Yes, before you scold me, I do realize that drifting apart is a part of life, but it still sucks a bit. What do you mean I don't see them every week, and they don't even wish me a happy birthday anymore?

Tomorrow morning I'm meeting up with two of my old friends for breakfast, since one of them is in town visiting. I'm excited to see them; sometimes it just feels like we are all writing different books, and I get a little lost. You know, sometimes I feel like I have nothing new to bring up or talk about with them. I genuinely have only been working and attending classes. I'm shifting my mindset about it. See, I am not a boring person; I am a hard-working person who values stability. Sounds a lot better. Maybe I can talk about the internship I recently got a conditional offer for, or how I can't fall asleep till like 2 am because of my late work schedule. I used to be a morning person; currently, I'm an off work by midnight and awake at 11 am type of person. The me from a year ago would have never seen this coming.

The FOMO I've been getting this past year has been a bit wild. It's funny, though, because multiple of my friends who are in college and living in the dorms also experience some FOMO. Everyone feels like they are missing out on something. That is why I am trying to have a mindset of gratitude, being grateful for what I can do and be a part of.
