TRUST: 2018 January (or, how to lose all your friends in ten days)

This was the third show I saw in 2018 and it seemed fitting for my January recap

Okay, okay, I didn't lose all of them. But a little hyperbole to start the year never hurt, am I right? There were moments during the first weeks of January that it felt like I had lost everyone. I have a lot of very close friends, but most of them live far away. In the latter months of 2017 I had cultivated a fun group of local friends and in what seemed to be an instant they were all gone for one reason or another.

I could type a whole lot about January, how hard it was, how I was hurt, and it what ways, but it's in the past and I have recovered from it and there is no sense in holding onto it, so I won't. When I was going back and forth about how to write my year in review post this is what I wrote. It says everything that it needs to say..

I won't lie, January was a hard month. Dear friends nearly lost their baby boy so many times I don't even like to think of it. My best friend in the whole world turned out to be not who I thought they were. Some supposed friends turned out to be exactly who I thought they were (read: not good). And a dear friend betrayed me in a way I likened to when my soul was crushed by a boyfriend in the past. 

In two words: IT SUCKED. But we moved on to...

February (or, how to heal the heart in the greatest city in the world)
