Left Out

I have this lyric in my head today: "And I'm too tired to pretend it doesn't hurt to be left out."

I feel like all around me people in my life are celebrating wonderful things. The wedding last week was glorious. My best friend is getting married in a couple months. 4 of my favorite couples are celebrating 5 year anniversaries last month and this week. Babies are being born left and right like it's going out of style. I keep hearing about friends buying houses, those who saved up and were smart with their savings who are able to take advantage of the low rates and the current market. My friends have good jobs, are putting down roots, and are building lives with their work and their love and their families.

And I just feel a little left out of that.
