Friendships

It is common knowledge, that as time passes by, everyone grows up, characters and personalities change, priorities differ, and people drift apart, whether consciously or subconsciously.

Yet despite having encountered this situation countless times, sometimes willingly, and sometimes unwillingly, I have yet to learn to accept it and not let it hurt me emotionally.

Today, was a day it has hit me again how loosely the term "friendship" is used. How people have changed. How I have changed - judgmental and cynical I have become, over the course of years.

Hurt I am, as friendships really do mean a lot to me. Possibly so, because I am the only child.

People do come and go all the time, whether we chose it, or you know, time just erase things. It is a fact of life that all of us need to go through.

The thing to do is to cherish those you have now; so that, even if come the day they leave (willingly or unwillingly or unpredictably), you know that: ah, that's a great person whom I have been fortunate enough to know him/her and be his/her friend.

Does not mean it doesn't hurt anyway when it happens. =)
