best friends
My best friend from 2nd-6th grade, Sarah, just signed online. I haven't talked to her in months; I haven't seen her in over a year.
Through most of middle school and high school, even after we stopped being best friends, we still kept in close contact, talking on the phone no less than once a week and seeing each other at least once a month.
It's so awkward talking to her even on the instant messenger now. It was even more awkward the last time we hung out. Now we don't even attempt to talk on the phone or make plans to see each other.
How can people be so close and then grow into such different people, therefore growing apart? Tonight while talking to Sarah on the instant messenger, I realized we will never again be anything more than acquaintances. She won't be the maid of honor at my wedding like I'd always planned. Realistically, we are almost definitely going to lose touch.
From Sarah to Michelle Langevin in middle school to most recently Julie, my life has just been one string of failed friendships, particularly best friend relationships.
And it makes me want to cry.
