So I found out some hugely shocking news recently concerning one of my friends who i've known since nursery. I got a text off her reading, 'Hi, I have some news...me and Nik are having a baby, i'm pregnant.' I can't even explain the huge wave of shock that hit me, literally knocked me for six! This is the girl i've grown up with, one of my best friends and she's having a baby! I couldn't believe it but it got me thinking...
I grew up with 4 friends who were always there for me, the 5 of us were inseparable. We went to all the same schools, were in all the same classes; teachers used to make special arrangements so that we could sit together at lunch! Then we got to high school. Things gradually started to change and we drifted apart. We obviously still kept in touch but we weren't even nearly as close as we used to be.
I suppose it is coming to university that has made me realise how much things are changing, it's scary that things can change so much without you even noticing. We have all gone to university, gone our seperate ways so to speak and hearing that one of your friends is pregnant really does make you realise how much we are growing up. I still think of myself as a child and seem to forget that i've moved miles away on my own and i'm living on my own; doing all my own washing and ironing and cooking!
I don't know why but i've always been a person who resists change. I love the familiar and will dig my heels into the ground if things around me start to change. However, hearing that one of my best friends is going to have a baby and seeing how happy she was really made me realise that we are all growing up and beginning to make our own marks in life. So i've now decided that from this day forward i'll 'embrace' change and all the opportunities it's bound to offer!!! As they say; 'these are the days of your lives' so i guess it's time to start enjoying them!!
