Friendships

It's funny how friendships change and develop over time. As I get older I have bonded with many new friends and gotten even closer with old friends. There doesn't seem to be a specific formula to determine who will remain close and who won't. Instead, as we grow and change, people will move in and out of our lives, sometimes there for a short, specific period, and others will be there for the long haul. I think we should embrace this and spend time with the people who encourage us to grow, learn, love and laugh. We are no longer kids and our parents do not set our play dates. WE should spend our days with the people who we care deeply about and who care about us, and who make us truly happy. Don't feel bad if you are no longer as close with a childhood friend, or if you spend more time with someone you met 6 months ago.
