I was talking to D'Anthony on the train on my way to work and the subject of me 'retiring' as our group planner and what's going to happen to our little group of friends when I move came up, and it hit me.... Is this the beginning of the end as he seems to think?
It works both ways... I'm moving to a place where I only know one person. I don't have a group of friends like I do here, who is going to eat my desserts? Of course I'm moving with Garette and my brother lives there so there's my answer. Plus my cousin might be moving soon with her BF so I may re-connect there.
but up here, I'm starting to feel like Big Mama from Soul Food trying to prepare her kids to band together since I won't be here forever. But it's true, I am the one that plans the events but I'm not the only one. Loi definitely gets involved big time, Mike loves when we all get together so I'm sure he'll put his requests in, but beyond those two I see individuals getting together but not like we do now. And with all the moves, everyone is going to be in there on space, and with everyone paying more in rent, no one is going out LOL! Especially since no one drives.
So maybe I DO need a job in the educational field. So that I can get my summers off and come back and beat ppl in the ass. For some, the group is more of a family than they have, everyone is more than just a friend, for others, the group is that comfort zone you have when life becomes too serious. For me, my group represents a place where I don't have to be fake or nice, I can be myself. I can say " a little less talking a little more SHUT THE FUCK UP!" and I won't get hit for it, they'd just start laughing...
I'll miss the group.
call me

Lady - we all support your moving ahead and wish you all the best. As we get older and begin a new chapters in our lives certain things will change and sometimes friendships will dwindle. But hey that is not your responsiblity, its up to each individual to maintain contact. I know times will be difficult but we will make it through. Keep your spirits up.
