Often times, I wonder why we drift away from people. Sometimes I wonder where it all goes. The late night phone calls, the secrets, the friendship, the lengthy conversations, the words of encouragement. Many times it doesn't make sense. I've always wondered where the person that made you smile and made your heart happy went.
I understand that not all friendships are meant to last forever. Not every friendship ends with drama and arguments. Some friends simply drift farther and farther apart emotionally until their relationship doesn’t resemble the early days of their friendship at all. Friends drift apart for many different reasons. Many times, it's because they are both turned to different pages of their life. Many friendships end when they are no longer on the same page.
Sometimes they learn what they want in life. They realize that you drag them down or that they deserve a better friendship. Sometimes it takes a person to suddenly realize your true colors and how valuable you believe their friendship is.
People often believe that it was the time that was "wasted". But it is not wasted time. You learn through experiences and mistakes that you've made. This helps shape you into the person that you are today. Life is about learning about what makes you happy.
