I *heart* hockey. That's all, nothing profound about it.
Thinking, on the other hand... I used to *heart* it. I used to be good at it. Now, not so much. So what do you do when a big part of how you identify yourself as a person changes? How do you reach out to people who don't understand for a single second what you're going through? What if they don't like you anymore? What if the thing you've pinned your identity on for so long is the only thing people liked about you? How do you make them understand that forgetting things like birthdays isn't becuase you're an inconsiderate, self-absorbed ass? How do you create a whole new identity for yourself when it doesn't feel like you have anything else to offer people?
OK, that was muy depressing. I don't know how to end this, so TTFN!!

What do you do when a big part of how you identify yourself changes? You redefine yourself. Then you figure out who in your life is important enough to reach out to, and do it, for better or worse. And then you get them to see your new identity. Then realize that friendship is sometimes the only thing we have to offer other people, and making the effort to do that is the hugest thing you can do.
