One Year = 12 Months = 365 Days

I was sitting at dinner tonight for a friend's birthday and looking around at the table, i had a little flashback. This time last year, we were also at dinner for the same birthday but most of us were different. Some still the same. How 12 months can change us is incredible sometimes especially when we don't see each other too often.

I'm not really talking of a physical change (except that I did just change my hair recently which received a positive response) but just catching up and hearing what everyone is up to, it's kinda crazy. New partners, new places to live, engagements with marriage on the cards, new jobs, further studying (or in my case, going back to studying - ill explain later), future endeavours... the list goes on.

It was a good thing though. The fact that we hardly see each other is not a great thing but when we do get to see each other (which these days is quite rare as we all have our own thing going on), we know we can talk about anything with each other. These are the friends that I'll keep in my life (i hope) forever. We even had a friend whom we hadn't seen since our first or second year of uni together drop by for a bit. That was a good surprise!

A year seems like such a long period of time and yes, we do see each other every now and then, but it's only the birthdays that we seem to see each other all at the one time. And that's only some birthdays. There's always someone who can't make it. But I suppose as long as the majority of the group is there, that's all that matters :)

I'm glad I went tonight. I was supposed to be having dinner with my team and our ex-manager but she cancelled and I don't mean this in a bad way but I'm glad, otherwise I would have missed out on this particular dinner.

I feel like I've changed a bit. At least towards some of them. There was news that I wanted to share - the good and the bad - but I felt myself hold back for some reason. It was wierd. Really wierd. When they asked me what I'd been up to for the past few months, I wanted to tell them everything but the only words that came out were "Nothing much. Just working"...

I, myself, am confused at my response.

I'm out.
Night.
