Everyone always thinks that their friendships from high school are going to last forever. Especially when you're going through all of your end-of-year events like prom and graduation, and you feel like you're on cloud 9 with your best friends forever. But the harsh reality is that they do end, and that's okay.

You go through the motions when you set up your first dorm room and hang all of the photo frames your friends gave you and smile at the memories. But eventually, you go from looking at those pictures every day and thinking of the happy times, to just glancing by while heading out for the night with your new college friends. All those nights with these new people that you feel you've known forever fill your memory and new photos are printed.

A new picture frame is a cost that you don't want to spend when you're on such a strict budget and so you look at the frames on the wall you originally hung on your first day at school. You haven't spoken to 4 out of 5 of those girls in the photos since you moved in 6 months ago. But they're your best friends...right? So it would totally break their hearts if they knew you replaced their photos with your new friends...

Nope. Replace the photo. Don't overthink it. Those girls you hung out with all of senior year or even high school were great, but they played their part in your life, and now it is time to move on. If you haven't spoken in six months, you probably won't speak for another six, or maybe only a couple more times. It's okay to keep good friends from high school, but you don't have to feel guilty about a friendship fading away. You guys will always be important to each other, but it's totally okay that you are not best friends anymore. Chances are, she already replaced your photo too, while still smiling about all of the great times you had together and hoping you're doing well wherever you are, just like you can.
