You lose, you gain.

It's weird looking back on old Facebook memories and being reminded of all the friends that you no longer have.

What's even weirder is when you get the chance to look those old friends in the face and they seem to have forgotten who you are.

I get it, people change and people move on, and not everyone has to like me for forever but it still breaks my heart a little to truly realize that relationships move and shift in ways that I can't control (control freak? Maybe) and I seem to have lost so many in my small amount of time orbiting the sun...

With that said, however, I have so many flappin wonderful people in my life every damn day and that makes up for all of the loss.

My soul-friends are the ones who have stuck through thick and thin and everything in between and they are the lovers I want in my life!

They are the ones who have stared at my demons and given them a little kiss on the cheek.

I guess that's just how life works, huh? You lose, you gain, you lose, you gain, and so on and so on.

I understand, Life, but it still makes me a little sad...but only a little.

Rachel out.
