Late, lonely night

Sep 28, 2007 01:24

I'm feeling very nostalgic and lonely tonight. I was on Myspace looking at my group of friends. A few relatively new faces, since college, of people I have come to know and love. I can look at them and see how wonderful my life is now and how happy I am to have met them and befriended them ( Read more... )

I can relate to having a very different group of friends since high school.. I've chatted with a few online, but there's really only 3 that I've seen since 2000. (and only one of those was on more than one occasion). Seven years is a long time, and I'm not the same person I was in high school (for the better).

Plus now I have two more batches of once-friends.. people I knew at the engineering school that have graduated in my absence, and people in the Army that I'll never see again (minus 1 or 2). I think to myself, knowing that I plan on moving out to Tennessee with Dena not too far down the road, who will become the next batch of old friends?

But on a lighter note, it'll be good to see you Sunday! :) Dena should finally be around as well, so we can hang out as the 4 of us.

I suppose the reason people grow apart is because...just that! They move away for various reasons and experience different things in different places of the world. They change and grow in their own way, as do I. So maybe we're just not as compatable anymore, as we once were and I should just take those good memories and run with them, changing and growing in my own way. Although I feel like I'm the same person I was years ago, maybe I'm not, and maybe they're not. It would be interesting to find out, though.

Maybe I'm frustrated because a few friends in particular kind of chose to lose contact with me. I tried calling and staying in touch, but they probably became too busy with new friends, and lives, and whatnot.

In the mean time, that "new batch of old friends" is kind of eminent in a way. If Paul and I are in that batch for you, it won't be for lack of caring or trying. I guess life just gets in the way, changing our course, hopefully for the even better. I have to admit, it really is pretty good now. All we can do is enjoy the ( ... )
