I learned two friends I haven't talked to in a while are getting married. It was a foregone conclusion, they're perfect for each other, but it still smacked me in the face, and I cast a somber reflection on myself at the news.

Made me feel like I'm doing something wrong?
I had some strong bonds in the past, but they all broke down. Was I too selfish? Were things just destined to fall apart? Could I have risen to the challenge better?

I'm a bit older now than when my mom had me. I don't think I could have walked in her shoes.
I guess this thread is a pity party in the guise of self reflection.

Well, I'll cut it off before it grows malignant. The melancholy I feel is on me. I wish them nothing but the best, even though we've fallen out of contact.
