Best Bud no more
What does one do when a good friendship starts to fade? How do you deal with it? I don't mean trying to save the friendship, but emotionally how does one let go? I'm guessing I'm not the first person this has happened to, so advice would be nice. I find it weird that someone who used to care so much about my life suddenly doesn't. That hurts. How can someone who used to know everything about me and be totally intimate with me (in a non-physical sort of way) stop caring slowly? If we got into a fight, that would make more sense, or if it happened suddenly. Then I could assume that something happened, that there was a reason. I guess I'm just looking for someone to agree that it can suck, but that I will have more best friends throughout my life. I don't want to never again call someone a best friend.

Unfortunately, growing up means letting go of a lot of things. I think some people in our lives are integral at a certain point, and are inextricable from that time. In other words, as time passes, we must part ways. I've found it's near impossible to have the same relationships with people I knew in high school. We've all grown and changed too much, and what we once had in common is no longer. The people I do keep in touch with are people I didn't really know back then, and have gotten to know them as they are now. To me it's all about being grateful for having them in my life, and helping me become the person I am now.
