Friendships really, but just need to say it

[Twinkleinmyeye]

A couple of years ago, I had to leave an am dram group of which I had been a part for many years. I had to leave for a number of reasons: some were political, but I was also expecting DS1 and was very poorly. I had counted myself to have many "close" friends at the group, but only managed to maintain contact with a few. In the meantime, the friends I had managed to maintain fell out with the rest of the group and I subsequently felt that I had been even more cut off by proxy.

It's all really very childish I know. However a couple was married this week, and I feel so sad to think that once upon a time, I would have been a part of the celebrations. I bought a small gift as a token of past friendship (they came to the evening of my wedding) and best of luck for the future. Not really sure I should give it though. They've obviously moved on. Maybe I should too. :(

Friendships do change, especially where they are based around a hobby. Things have moved on, you left the group a couple of years ago, time to let it go.

Spend some little time honestly reflecting on why you left the group. How much of the politics is something you would now look back on and do differently?

Are you ready to join a new group?
