    I think it is totally ok that you dont want to be a part of her crowd – it makes you unique! I am someone who doesnt drink a lot these days and am amongst friends who do. I choose to still go to bars and parties but I dont drink as much and they get it. I too am much older for the 29 that I am and I too a deep thinker, very self aware and enjoy philosophical stuff a lot more than normal blah blah. Like you, I have learnt big things over the past few years and I love the person I have become.

    Just be proud of who you are! How rare it is to find people who stand up for what they believe in and are unapologetic for the direction they choose and the way they wish to live their lives. If certain friends dont get it, doesnt matter, let us appreciate the differences and love them for who they are. For the ones who want to be difficult about it, better to put them in the past and find new ones who get you and adore you for who you are 🙂

    We all are in control of who we call our ‘tribe’. Stay true to yourself and choose wisely 🙂

    Hi StephanieS,

    Sharing some enlightenment guidance…

    Don’t ever feel It is selfish to desire what you and your husband genuinely
    desire in life…

    The fulfillment you and your husband seek will not take anything away from anyone else.
    In fact, in the process of bringing about your life fulfillment you add
    much value to the lives of those around you.

    Just look at it this way those wonderful things you are positively passionate about enable you to discover
    powerful, effective ways of creating new value in your life. When you follow your
    dreams, you lead other people to theirs so ever don’t stop.

    It is very important to always listen to the stirrings of your own authentic desires. and the nice thing is there’s no
    limit on how high you can lift the whole world so… KEEP Focus!

    Thank you to both of you for the responses! I do have a tendency to be a “people pleaser” and I am working very hard at being less concerned about others’ opinions of me–easier said than done at times! We definitely feel that we are on the right track, it’s just hard when we don’t have the large group of “friends” we are used to.

    What’s even more silly is to realize that those supposed “friends” we had before weren’t all that supportive of us either, so I guess it is better to start over, to a certain degree!
