Friends Come and Go

When I think about where and who I was 5 or 10 years ago and who I am now there are a lot of things that are very different about my life.

My goals are larger, confidence greater, the way I dress and the things I am lucky enough to get to do regularly seem extravagant compared to where I used to be.

I have grown in a lot of ways which often results in growing away from friends who I thought I would be close to for a long time. There are friends who don't always grow with you, or in the same direction, and sometimes it becomes necessary to let go of the friendships. Sometimes you have friends whose habits or personality you never really saw, but then something happens to make you realize you had always been more of a friend to them then they were to you.

Unfortunately, the other party might not agree that the two of you are that different and it often results in a lot of hurt feelings. The older I get, the more I realize how little time we really get each day and in our lives, and there comes a point when you have to analyze just how and with who you want to spend that precious free time with.
