Hey guys, and welcome to the first entry of My Not-So-Secret Diary! I thought it’d be cool to have a space where I could share all the random thoughts, feelings, and experiences I go through – you know, the real stuff. I guess you could say this is my way of keeping a diary, but I’m letting the world peek in (without giving away who I am, of course – a little mystery never hurt, right?).
Here’s how this will work: each week, I’ll share a new post about something that’s been on my mind or going on in my life. Some days, I might even do mini updates, just sharing something quick or random I feel like talking about.
So, for my first post, I want to open up about something that’s been a huge part of my life lately: friendships. I’ve had some of the same friends for years, and I thought these friendships would stay the same forever. But lately, they’ve felt different – kind of like I’m on the outside, looking in. My friends have started being more exclusive, hanging out without inviting me, and making plans that I only hear about later. It feels like I’m just…not part of their group anymore, like I’m there but not really included.
It’s honestly been really hard, but I’m trying to deal with it by focusing on things that make me happy and finding people who make me feel seen. I remind myself that it’s okay if friendships change, even if it’s confusing and painful. And maybe part of growing up is learning to let go of things that don’t fit as well anymore. I’ve realized that I deserve to feel valued, and I’m hopeful for new friendships that feel right.
So, if you’re reading this and you’ve felt the same way, just know that you’re not alone. This journey is full of ups and downs, and I’m figuring it out as I go, too. I hope my experiences can be relatable, and maybe even helpful, for someone out there.
Thank you everyone for reading the first “edition” of My Not-So-Secret Diary! Talk soon, XOXO! 💋
