Time has turned close friends into distant acquaintances. Our lives are in constant motion. We change each day. Sometimes, we forget that the people who surround us also change every day. Some relationships may grow together, shift and bend in ways that make them fit comfortably. Some relationships are more forgiving and hang on for the sake of the love that was once binding and now hangs around as a memory. But some don’t last. Some get destroyed, some disappear slowly and some cease to exist abruptly. I viewed this reality as something negative for a long time. It really pissed me off to know that the people to whom I was so close to could quite easily abandon our friendship. It always felt really sad, like deceit, like abandonment. The kind of feeling that makes tears well up in the back of your throat; the kind of sad that lingers and lingers. Granted, it’s not always so emotional. Sometimes, it’s as simple as “Woah, I haven’t talked to so-and-so in 3 years. What happened?” But sometimes, it does reach that point and poof, that person with whom you shared so much is no longer part of your life. The last time I went through this, I tried to separate myself from the experience and understand things a little differently. I realized that people come into your life for a reason and spend the time they’re meant to spend with you that they’re meant to spend. When they’re no longer in your life, it’s because they’re no longer supposed to be there...
