". . . we started at zero
and went different ways. . .
. . . and if we started at zero than when did things change
it seems like just yesterday we were the same. . ."
The above song has been in my head this week. I found out that two of the girls I grew up with are pregnant and of course, not married.
I cried.
We were little girls together. We giggled and dreamed and pretended and played and argued. In our little girl minds this was never supposed to happen. When we dreamed of being older we never dreamed of being a single mom but sadly, now we are older and that's where two us find ourselves. This wasn't supposed to happen. Not to my friends. But it has. Sadly. It has.
How can people start out so much the same and end up so differently? Where and when did things change? Was it major decisions or was simply little compromises? It's frightening in some ways. Sobering in all ways.
I could be one of these girls. I could have been the single mom. But for some reason I am not. What happened?

Mmm... :( I know, it's hard what life and decisions does to people.
Things like this always sober me, especially when it hits so close to home.

These are things that make me sad.
Hi Britt, I just discovered your blog and i like your art in writing and photography a lot. Your heart for God i like most of all! Not too long ago I heard about the situation you just mentioned and it made me long to go back in time when I knew you all the best. I thought of carefree little girls who found joy in life and things to giggle about. It makes me sad to know that those days are gone and i hope for God and His grace to come into those situations. -Laurie M.
