After I started my first job after college I began to burn many bridges in the sense of not being able to manage a successful social life in such a high pressured job situation. I notice that I have and may continue to do things by myself because my friends and I have outgrown each other. The older we get, the more our identities are being shaped. What inevitably is happening is that we are forgetting that thing, whatever it was that brought us together in the first place. It's disheartening that the same people I once called my bffs are now just mere casual acquaintances. As I look around my room filled with photographs of the good times, I can't help but to think that I am part to blame. At one point I did believe that going to events alone was empowering and in many senses I still do but while at these events I see people in two's, three's and fours and suddenly my single self just isn't enough.
