I know it's been hard, I know we've all changed.

Life happens, and there's nothing we can do about it.

Though we've grown apart over the past year, it doesn't mean that you're insignificant to me.

"Best friends forever," is what we thought in high school. I mean, that could still be true, we wanted to be friends for life.

And then college came.

When we got to college, we did what everyone does. We gained new friends and new interests. Our lives were literally tossed into the air, as we were expected to land neatly back onto the ground and take the world full force.

There was no time for keeping up with old friends. We had to establish ourselves; our new selves.

Though we haven't talked every day since high school, though we don't see each other anymore, though we're hundreds of miles apart, and we're already a year deep into college, it doesn't mean that I've forgotten about you. I'm here at school, doing my thing, living my life, and I expect you to do the same.

Don't be too sad that we aren't together every day anymore. Lift your chin up and go out, make new friends. Live life to the fullest, go on adventures with your new college fam. Have fun and don't feel guilty that we're not together enjoying those moments.

It's okay. We can make our own memories when the time permits it.

I know you're sad that we aren't as close as we once were, but it's okay. I'm sad too. Growing up sucks, because that means things change and change is scary. No matter what, you'll always be in the back of my mind, and I'll continue to call you whenever I feel like hashing out the old days.

Hang in there, I haven't gone anywhere.
