Day 164: Left Out

September 18, 2018 by Vanessa Young in The Writing

Write about a time when you’ve felt left out or you’ve noticed someone else feeling as if they didn’t belong.

HA! Every day of my life when I see my friends and family having a ball back in Ohio and I’m here trying to adjust to being alone a lot! I have severe FOMO every damn weekend when I see what all my people are up to on various social medias.

When I see my mom, aunts and cousins all hanging out and having a blast in Florida without me, it tugs on my heart in a positive and negative way. I miss them so much but I was so glad they got together. Nothing is more important than a supportive family.

But yeah I do feel left out sometimes, which is silly. Because I live on the other side of the country now. No one is purposely “leaving me out” they’re just living their lives while I live mine here. After years of consolidating a great group of friends and growing my relationships with family members, it’s hard to just…start over.

On the flip side, now that I’m making more friends in the city and going out more, I don’t want to leave my husband out of that. I’m more of a social butterfly than he is so I can make friends with ease (if i’m in the mood). He’s never told me feels left out so I may be just projecting. But its something for me to keep in mind!
