Everybody knows the saying, "Friends come and go." If you haven't noticed by now, that is very true. Your best friend from first grade is probably off at college in another state right now, doing things you would have never imagined doing. One of your friends from middle school probably fell off the edge of the earth it seems, because you never see or hear about them, even on social media. Your best friend from high school might be hanging out with the crowd they always hated, and turned into that person they always talked about never becoming.
Things change. People Change. Most importantly, you change.
My clique from middle school and high school never changed. We were always the closest, even though we fussed like once a week, but hey, what group of friends doesn't have problems now and then right? Since then, we've all went separate ways, made new friends and have a different best friend. Some had babies, some ended up doing drugs, and some turned their life around for the better. High school changed us. We were introduced to new things those four years. We had more drama than ever, whether it was girl drama or boy drama, it was always there. We were with each other every single day, so of course, we got tired of each other. But now that we've graduated from high school and we don't speak as often as we use to, doesn't mean I never think and wonder how their doing, or what's going on in their lives. We have grown up, we have changed, and we are different people compared to who we were on graduation day last year. We're not close anymore, and that's okay.
High school was a great four years, but I promise, not one bit do I miss fussing over a stupid boy, or somebody saying something about me when I make them mad and not having the nerve to say it to me, but saying it to everybody else. Yeah, every now and then I miss how close everybody was sometimes and how easy life was compared to college life now. But I grew up, too. I realized things that were so important then, never really were important and still aren't today. I finally found out who my real friends are, even if my one true friend is my boyfriend. I don't need 20 friends to hang out with all the time. I'm content with my one best friend, and my three or four close friends that I've met in college. Catching up with my high school friends might be great, but if I never catch up with them ever again, I would still be okay. Life has went on without them for the last year, and life will continue without them.
