Estranged

I have become estranged from family and friends, both past and present and feel I have become that way again from a few of my old friends here and some of my new ones here in Vancouver as well. It is difficult to pull away , but it is also sometimes a huge need at times too.
When I pulled away from my family years ago, it was because I came out and told them all I was gay and I just needed my space at my time and I felt they needed to have time to just think about things and digest everything. Perhaps I was wrong to do this as it probably in the ended in the large gap I had my family in my life. I have most of them back in my life now and am very thankful for that on a daily basis.
As for friends that I have become estranged from , there are quite a few over the years. Some of which I have no regrets for being estranged from and some I miss everyday. All that this have happened with have had a reason. I have also been avoided by friends and avoided friends on many occasions fro reasons that are sometimes unknown to even myself at times. But most times I do have a reason and it is just uncomfortable to see certain people for a while. I know eventually that most people I become estranged from will be back in my life. Sometimes we all just need time apart! The one person I will never feel estranged from is my mother.
Anyways signing off for now. Have a great night from your gay neighbor.
