Welcome to the Jungle
I’ve been lucky enough in life to have met friends at all stages in my life, from my first friends in the neighbourhood through lower and upper schools up to now at college and work, but you could probably count on one hand the number of true friends I have. I lost touch with school friends after I left and while this makes me regret how things have turned out, I don’t feel as though I’m missing out. I’m not the type of person who needs social activity 24/7, I like my space and time, of coarse too much is unhealthy, but I have learned to cope with solitude just from being an only child. I’d rather have a few people I could really talk to, rather than a lot of people I couldn’t.
Why am I rambling on like this? well, 2 people are leaving work at the end of this month, 2 people I have gotten to know pretty well. One of them, Sam, was there at the start, we did our training together and met all the people we know at the same time. He left university a year ago after getting a degree in psychology but has decided to go back to get a higher masters degree because he cannot find a job. We both got split up into different sections at work for about the last 3 months, so we haven’t talked a great deal but I still felt asif he was someone I could really talk to, it’s a shame he is going, I genuinely feel gutted about it. The other lad is Rob, my perception of him has changed a lot over the coarse of the last year. At first I didn’t really take to him, he seemed to always be trying to impress other people, but eventually we got to know each other and we have similar characters. He’s somebody else I will be gutted to see go.
I always get nostalgic when something changes in my life, I find change difficult to handle and I don’t really like to change myself. But I guess it is necessary to succeed in life. This jungle of a world we live in is waiting for us, waiting for our mistakes and our successes, but wherever we go it’s good to have friends in the same situation.
I won’t end this entry on a cheesy line like that, I’ll finish by saying….Leeds United have taken Brain Deane on their pre-season tour.
Yup.
