For some reason I get irritated when friends from my past try hard to hang on to me. For me, the past is the past. I am not who I was in high school. I do not want to pretend that I am that same person and play this role you want me to play. I was incredibly lost in high school and who I was was just a diversion of me figuring myself out. In actuality, I am a very private person, I like keeping to myself.

I am not your source for entertainment. I do not want calls from you because you want me to be the one to break the ice and be the entertainer for your parties or friendly gatherings. Just because I’m good at being social does not mean I am social. I like people. I like my friends, but I am not going to try to hang on to the friends that hang on to the past.  

I want to be who I am now. You say things like, “You’ve changed so much,” or “why don’t you ever want to hang out with me anymore.” It’s because I’ve grown up, and you haven’t.
