Distance

I have a friend who I now over the last 12 months have started considering to be more of an acquaintance. There are a few reasons for this:
1) We are at very different places in our lives and she has no appreciation for the fact that I have accepted a certain level of maturity necessary to be a wife and mother.
2) I can no longer accept the fact that she is unable and unwilling to realize that life is unfair and sometimes we have to compromise our personal comforts for those we love.
3) We never see each other, which is in part because she is unable to have a level of stability in her life that allows her to travel and in part due to the fact that when I visit (infrequently) the area that she lives, I no longer make getting together a priority.
I am being selfish here I feel, but I'm not going to feel guilty about that. I am going through a period in my life where my husband, my child and my family are number one (after only God) and I'm not very interested in quitting different things (jobs, careers etc) based on principle. I have reached a level of maturity that makes me realize that I have to make certain sacrifices because of the level of love for my husband and child in my life. I have accepted that my way is not the only way and that is putting me at a distance with this friend and a few others in my past. To be honest, I like this distance, it helps me to focus on what's important and leave everything else on the side where I can ignore it if I have to!
