Relationships are HARD.
For one thing, I've been bad about keeping in touch with family, friends from high school and college. I work weird hours and when I'm not working, I'm generally with Lucas.
On the flip side, I spend a LOT of time with the people I work and live with (i.e. scholars and houseparents). I'm still building relationships with all of these people, which is difficult first because there are 11 of them, and second, because we see each other every. single. day. So if you have a beef with someone or they have a beef with you, you have zero space.
I think I value relationships a lot more now than I ever have before. That's because, unlike in college, I don't see my friends every day. Unlike in high school, I don't see my family every day, or even every month. I don't even see Lucas every day because of the nature of my job. I'm feeling... not homesick, but peoplesick.
So... if you're reading this... feel free to give me a call :)
