As each year passes, a sequences of events will eventually take place, you’ll get that amazing internship you’ve always wanted, you’ll graduate from high school or college, you’ll get a new job, down the road you’ll get married, but most importantly you’ll be able to tell that there’s a substantial difference in the type of friendships maintained.

You once knew if your friends had a crush on a cute boy, what classes they were taking, and basically how their life was going up to this point. Granted everyone leads a very busy yet hectic life, but the way I see it, if you truly mean anything to someone, no matter how busy each others schedule may be, you’ll set aside a small amount of time to talk to them.

My circle of friends has never been quite big, the way I see it, the bigger the circle, the bigger the drama.

A lot of friendships end in bitter arguments, yet others end without a warning or reason. Although, everything happens for a reason because life just sort of happens, with age you sort of realize that it’s better to have a few great friends than a hundred fake ones that aren’t really worth your time and effort anymore.

To the friends I’ve lost along the way,

Thank you for a countless amount of memories, memories that gave you a bittersweet feeling inside while we were still living in them. Memories that by there very existence, I will cherish and reminisce on forever. Thank you for being apart of my life for how ever long you were in it because each person you come across in life has something meaningful to show you. Each and every person you meet plays a key role in your success story, some bring out the best in you, while others the worst. Yet each enter your life to remind you that everyone is worth it, everyone is worth a chance.

I wish you nothing but success in everything you decide to embark on and look forward to seeing what you’ve accomplished in life. I hope you get that dream job you’ve always wanted, and that you’ve met your soul mate, but most importantly I hope you’re truly happy with your life. I hope you regret as little as possible, and that everything you’ve always wanted is beginning to fall into place. I hope your life is both long and prosperous, and that all of your dreams come true. Though I hope you know, I’ll always be rooting for you from afar every step of the way no matter how the friendship ended.

Love always,

A Long Lost Friend
