Its odd how your own coping methods and relationships that you have with friends, etc, evolve over time. Evolve with situational changes within individuals lives. Its something I've noticed recently anyway. And I think 'evolve' is the right word, they build upon the foundations that were there before, but sometimes in unexpected way.

Over the past 6 months or so, my life has undergone quite big changes, with the move and starting a new job, etc. The quantity of friends that I have has increased, because I've met new people and made new friends. But within that move and that change, the roles of a lot of my friends has changed. I know longer see my Swansea friends on a week to week basis. And although generally the *amount* of stuff that I talk to them about hasn't changed, the frequency in which we're able to do so, has. Which makes sense, given the changes. I've also been developing friendships in my New Home and it feels good that I now have people here who I can talk to properly about stuff.

I'd also just like to take this opportunity to say thank you to a few friends (you'll know who you are), who gave me some advice a year or so ago, which I recently recalled and it helped me mentally through a tough few days. It feels like, I'm taking the altered Swansea support and putting it with my New Home support, and being more independent as a result of both. I'm not entirely sure if that makes sense, but I know what I mean!
