Friends; Some Gained, Some Lost, Some forever

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 (:
