Moving On

I've wanted to write this post for a while and was just not sure how I would put it together.  I just want to talk about friendship and life for a minute. When Tyler and I were finishing up college we had some troubles with friends. People not understanding our relationship; us not responding how we should have. After a while I kind of just gave up on having good friends. People I thought were my friends, weren't after all, and I thought all people must be two faced and I shouldn't expect anything from them. I felt like this for a while. I was really hurt and had no interest in trusting anybody but Tyler. I had a few great people who came into my life and were wonderful and I began to hope for something new when we moved to Nashville. 

Since we've been here (only about two months and almost a half) it's been really wonderful. I've been thrilled that my blog has helped me connect with people and that Tyler and I are getting involved doing different things. It's always a bit of a slow going when getting into a new town and trying to make a life for yourself, but I feel like we're finally on our way. 

Friends come into our lives and sometimes leave just as quickly.  I've really been learning that some people are truly just for a season, even if you thought other wise. Friendships can be hard and I want to learn to cultivate and grow in the ones I have now, not dwell on the ones I once had. It's been incredibly difficult at times. I've really grieved over friendships lost, but I'm learning to look forward and stop looking behind at what once was.

Thanks for letting me talk, sometimes you just need to talk about something to help heal.

What are some things you have been struggling with lately?
