It's really sad to see how much some of my old friends have changed. I've been catching up with a lot of them, lately ... so many people that I used to be so close to. Now, I can't imagine myself ever really being close to them again, because we are so different now. It's not always a bad thing that they've chosen what they have, but, in some cases it is.
You love your friends, and most of the time, you know what's best for them and what they're capable of. It feels really hopeless and helpless to just lurk around in the background watching them sell themselves short, because we all know that in a few years, none of this stuff is going to matter.
I know that I sound like I'm 80 years old. Sometimes, I feel like it, but I've moved past the trivial and fleeting parts of my life, and I'm trying to focus on things that are really going to have an impact and will really matter to someone, not just something that's going to get me through the day.
