Friendship and its eventual let downs...

I have been pondering about friendship.

You have different friends during different times of your life. If you're lucky, you will have excellent friends during those times. These friends feel like they will always be friends no matter what happens nor how much time passes.

But, sadly, thats not how it usually happens. The people you thought were the closest to you drift away... People you would share everything with, be there for, spend some of the funnest/sadest/closest times with will slowly disappear.

If you're truly lucky and blessed, there will be the occasional few who will be there. Those are true friends. The ones where you can just pick up where you left off with minimal/no awkwardness... Keep them close to you. They're worth their weight in gold.

You will have nostalgic moments of envy for past experiences with friends. These feelings will bring emotions of joy, humor, and sadness. The only thing you can count on... just like your past close relationships, these feelings of envy shall pass.

I couldn't agree with you more. I always think I have found "best friends" at every stage of my life. Then it starts off as " dont worry, we will still see each other " to meeting up for coffee a few times--> loosing track and sending the occasional "hey, just wanted to say hi and see how things are" facebook message.

It kinda sucks... but I feel like its inevitable.

I feel like it can be stopped if people put enough effort to it, but most of the time there are always 'other more important issues...'

btw...

How are things going? ( :P ;) )
