Things change, people change, that’s just what happens. Change is inevitable. People get mad when their friends seem to change, yet we are always changing ourselves, so it is not a fair comparison. Maybe the people around us are only meant to be in our lives for a time, a short time or sometimes a bit of a longer time. We are not meant to have the same friends our whole life. A certain friend will come into your life for a while to teach you something or to be a part of an important time in your life, and then because we are all constantly changing, the friendship will begin to change too and possibly fall apart all together. It’s nothing to get upset about, it’s just what happens sometimes. Occasionally a long lost friend will come back into your life months or years later, and your friendship will be better than ever. My advice on friendship is that it should never be forced; if you are drifting apart, it may not always be a bad thing. Of course friendships can go through hard times or a lack of time to hang out can be an issue, and this doesn’t mean the friendship has to end necessarily. I do believe however, that one friend should never have to constantly “chase” down the other to try to make plans all the time, it has to genuine effort on both parts to make time for each other.
