So I should probably be used to the short term friendships that come from moving around all the time, but I'm not. I mean, I've spent most of my life moving around. Such is life in a military family. Granted, we didn't have it as bad as a lot of families growing up because I only really moved twice as a kid. I guess where it got rough was between ages 18 and 26 (now). After spending a year in Dallas and making friends I left for the Air Force and spent a couple years in Italy, and then a few in Florida, and now here I am in the Middle East.
As I said, I should probably be used to friends coming and going, and for the most part I am, but it still sucks when a close friend leaves. My closest friend over here left today:( She was one of the first people I met here and was definitely my favorite. There was nothing romantic going on between us, but it was still pretty depressing that she left. She was pretty much my link to the Doha social circle as well, and I'm sure I won't see a few of the people she introduced me to again, but she did introduce me to some pretty cool people.
While I'm sad she left, I'm still happy for her. She got promoted into a great position in her company and definitely deserves it. Plus I'm sure I'll see her again. I already have plans to go visit her in Istanbul!
On a side note, I think I've found the source of my frustrations, or at least one of the sources. It is surprising how easy things are when certain stimuli are removed from the equation. It is definitely a person so I'll have to test this theory upon their return to work... more to come!
