I try to check in with my BFF’s and say “HEY, I haven’t forgotten about you. Sorry I suck a real life currently, but I love you” 😀 what’s great is that I DO have their support, which makes me feel a little bit better about the hustle I’ve been putting in. And my husband supports me like crazy, but also reminds me to take a break and watch a Netflix with him on the couch 😉
Thanks for sharing, Ali! Great post 🙂

I DID admit that I was a bad friend, but I disagree with you on how unimportant she was to me. I’m a very independent person and my lack of time for a friend is more of a reflection of my independence and my desire to build my dream business, which was what I was trying to convey in this story. She wasn’t unimportant at all, which is why I admitted to being a bad friend. Thanks for the comment regardless, just wanted to clear that up!

I read your story about your friend and wanted to write and say that I once was on the other end of your friend story. There are two sides to every story. I, too, was busy juggling work and a family so I understand being “busy.” Your friend was probably “busy” too. It really is about making time for what is important to you even if it’s just to say hello or send a quick text. What was apparent from your writing is that you didn’t have time for your friend and that you don’t miss her which really shows how unimportant she was to you. Admit it or not, you really were a bad friend to her but it sounds like it worked out for both of you in the end because there is nothing worse than having a bad friend. Good luck!

I can relate to starting a business, and having a baby, and yes both require a lot of attention!

But hard work pays off..
and life would be boring without challenging ourselves…

As much as I have spent many months exhausted, it is far better to have my daughter Chloe and own business.. then not having her, and working for someone else.

Keep shining!
