The past couple of weeks have really opened my eyes to the people around me and how much we change. I used to be good friends with someone but because I was honest about my life with her things have changed. We don’t hang out anymore and when we talk I can feel the tension and uneasiness that radiates between us. At times I feel sad because I miss the friendship that we had. I miss how easy it was to talk and be open with this person and I miss the little things that made us laugh. At the same time I realize that people change and overtime the friendships we have now will one day not all exist. I know people move on and start new lives, but I wish a friendship wouldn’t come to a halt because of something someone did in their past or because of something someone is currently figuring out. I see change in a lot of things, but I especially see it in most friendships. I make a decision that people don’t like or don’t understand and when I turn around they seem to disappear… but when I do something “good” or something that makes sense to them they come back and act like they’ve been there all along. I think people should accept everyone for who they are. We shouldn’t be friends with someone just because they fit our “requirements” or they act a certain way. Instead, we should love everyone - no matter how much we think they are screwing up, or how bad or good that person may be. This friendship of mine that is slowly coming to an end has been really hard, but to be honest although I feel like I am losing something, I feel like this person is losing something as well. I am sad to say I am losing hold of this friendship, but was it friendship at all when they can’t be there for you when you need them most just because of something you did or are doing now…Probably not. This is just a small stone in a pile of rocks – a stepping stone towards change and a new way to look at life. We learn to let go, move forward and forget the past.
