Fleet

Losing someone is a hard thing. I can understand loss when there is a defining reason. The growing apart when an interest of a friend goes to something else. One of my best friends is now technically married. Its weird to call him one of my best friends. I haven't felt like he has been for many months now. I see him less and less. A few months ago his wife got an apartment. He has stayed here at our house maybe 5 times since then. I think I've seen him about 9 times for no longer than 10 minutes each time. Seeing a life disappear off your map and going to a new set of friends confuses me. We don't really fight unless one of us actually does something stupid or neglectful.

One day when he was at home for a longer period of time we were hanging out. All three of us in the house were watching TV. The episode of Grey's Anatomy ended. My girl roommate ran into her room as her usual unknown reason of going in her room every ten minutes. I was just sitting on the couch with him. I decided to get dress and he was wondering around the house. I saw him going out the door as I was dressed and asked where he was going. He said he was heading to this chinese place we have eaten at a few times. I knew I shouldn't spend money, but I wanted to hang out and just talk, so I asked if I could join him. His reply was a sarcastic laugh with a mumble of words you couldn't understand. He shut the door and left. We planned on getting friendship tattoos together for a long time. I text him one night saying that I wanted to get one for him and I as a birthday present. His answer was neither yes or no, just we will see or something like that.

I barely make an effort anymore. It hurts to know that he makes no effort at all. The only thing he has wanted to talk to me about is my faith and how he wants to know about it. That talk I doubt will happen. I feel as if when he gets his answers he wants he will leave and really never talk to me again. I can't remember the last time he asked me to hang out.

  • Moved out of my parent's house and into an expensive apartment
  • Moved out out of the apartment and into a Punk House
  • Gave my life back to Christ
  • Ended my first relationship
  • Moved out of the Punk House
  • Made too many mistakes
  • Worked at Starbucks and wanted to kill myself
  • Quit Starbucks for Relevant Magazine
  • Got screwed out of my last semester in Community College
  • Fell in love with a girl in another country
  • Got a second job at Pita Pit
  • Flew to Guatemala to see a girl for 4 days
  • Lost a social life to the 7 day work week
I'm loving every minute of this current life I'm living. Currently earning money to get a work visa for Guatemala as well living there for a few years. This is me chasing after a woman.
