You will only encounter a few people in your life that will
remain your friends through thick and thin. One of the times you realize this
will be during your transition from high school to college. Many of the people
you thought were your friends during high school will prove that they were
never ‘truly’ real friends when you both take your separate paths and go off to
college. For me this was entirely true.
Now I don’t mean to write this blog to bag on failed
friendships or to say that I was never the person who didn’t hold up my end of
the bargain with a friendship, because that isn’t true. I am writing about this
stepping-stone in life because I think it is an important part of growing up.
It doesn’t mean that either you or the other person in the friendship, are bad
people, or that you didn’t care about that person at one point. It means that
you are mature enough to realize that people grow apart. Of course you are
going to draw away from people in your life because as life goes on you start to
figure out who you are and what your goals are in life. Everyone has different
aspirations in life and sometimes when you begin to engage in creating a future
for yourself you grow apart from friends soley because they are doing the same
thing in there life.
I just think it’s very important to acknowledge that growing
apart from people isn’t always a bad thing. You most likely learned something
with that friendship or even relationship. It is part of growing up, an
inevitable part of life—and you must encounter lost friendships to find the
right ones, right?
Just some food for thought (:
