I parted with a lot of my friends once I left Alice Smith to finish high school at Charterhouse in Britain and at that time, I thought distance wasn't anything vital. I used to go back to KL on every holiday and we got to catch up on each other's lives a lot. But let's face it, everyone then had to move on to college and university which took up a lot of our free time. We had to juggle between studies and leisure and the former usually won.
Today, I met my best friend of 7 years. We used to sit beside each other since Year 2 and it was a shame that we could not pick up from where we left! The last meeting was a year back but we do call each other every now and then which we thought would suffice. Wrong.
I now know that even the best of friends CAN drift apart when distance comes in between them. When you meet new people and are exposed to new environments, you have the tendency to seek for new comforts and get close to people who can be temporary replacements for your best friends. Yes, you keep in contact with each other but one day, you won't realize you don't need your good ol' best friends that much anymore.
I had tweeted this before but I'll say it again. Everything starts off when you're comfortable with not talking or communicating to your other half (be it friends, best friends, whoever).
Cheers!
