Friends
I've found that history doesn't mean everything in a friendship. Just because two people have been through some stuff and come out together in the past, doesn't automatically mean that they'll continue to do that in the future

I was cruising through your journal tonight after seeing your comment on Dev's LJ, and I came across this post. I wanted to share my experience.
I had a friend that I met back when we were 8 years old. We were really close growing up, even through high school and into college. When I started college, I began to change while he stayed the same. One seemingly random day he told me out of the blue that he couldn't stand to be around me anymore and that we couldn't be friends. When I asked him to draw out some specifics so that I could try to fix the problems I had, he balked. I never did find out exactly why he stopped being friends with me. All I knew was that in his mind, that line had already been passed, and there was no salvaging the friendship.
That was almost 7 years ago, and I haven't heard from him since. I still talk to a couple people who keep in contact with him, and they say he's never really asked about me.
It makes me feel really sad once in a while when I think about a nearly 15 year friendship burned to ash, but I have accepted it and moved on. History really isn't everything. Sometimes people just change, and in that changing, leave the past behind them.
