The stuffed men.

Due to the influence of a couple of friends, and a a lack (not loss) of anything better to do since finishing exams, I have been reading over this site. Blogs of people still near. Musings of those long gone. Old posts of selves, long gone

We lose interest in people every day. We realise that the things we had in common lose importance, and every time we lose a part of ourself, we lose a part of a friendship. We replace those parts with different gap fillers, and new friendships grow from there... but we don't lose curiosity. We'll all attend our school reunions and have fun, but not regain contact with our previous cliques from that. It's funny how things shift, and reform. But that's nature isn't it, that's evolution for you.

It is good to hear from you.
And I'm glad to hear that you have been well.
Even though we have not been in physical or vocal contact, your imprint makes me happily close to you. ^__^
I think you have grown somewhat, matured and deeply miss some old friends.
Nostalgia is only good for remembering the good times that you once had, not being so clear on all of the bad or awkward parts back then though.
You have to take whatever path you prefer, even if another could be equally beneficial. (Robert Frost said similar in different phrasing)

Anywho, nomatter where you do go, or what you do, there are your old friends and the people who continuously love you.
When we meet again, you may find us changed to suit your growth as well, our values change and your old friends may be just as desirable as in the past, just alittle older and wiser than when you knew us.

*hugs*

"There are so many people who have fallen out of my life. Yet I know that when I see them that things will continue as though no time has passed. Like a book that I can put down and come back to at my leisure"

that is were true friendship lies. a true friend is always there not always in the physical, because life takes you down paths you do not expect. and when you meet up although not as often as you like things will always be the same between yous. i have friends that i hardly every see anymore but they are always in my heart and i'm always thinking about them, and they are some of my closet friends. times change and people change yes, i will agree with that, but some things in life that are important to will never change what ever path you choose in life take care, and i'm always around some were if you want met up for a chat

occasionally i let my mind wonder over to the space where it contemplates my old friends and wonders what they're doing. until it realises that they're probably still doing what they've always done and nothing much has changed. there is a reason we move on from them, they are no longer useful.
