What Used to Be

It seems more and more this year moves along, people I consider my best friends continue to prove me wrong. Maybe it's just a case of disappearing into relationships, leaving everything else in the shadows. I can't really blame them, because I did that once.

But I get this sinking feeling that two people I used to know simply don't exist anymore. And haven't for a while. Emails, Phone Calls, and even Texts all either unanswered or taking days/weeks to return. I am much the same person I was in October, so that can't be it.

These two new people are not my friends. If we met today, I wouldn't be friends with either.

That is the most frustrating part. Two people I knew for a decade each disappeared basically overnight.  I can't do a fucking thing about it and it's eating me inside. I even started treating them the same way, ignoring them randomly.

It seems like they don't care or notice. I am glad I'm staying in Iowa City for the foreseeable future, leaving this place changes people. And not in a good way.

It turns friends into unfriends. Definitely feeling about 4 different parts of this Alkaline Trio song right now.
