Those old friends.

When I was a student I had some friends who were very close to my heart and I could never thought of a life without their active presence. But now we are all separated from each other and I never feel their absence any more in my life. To be frank, they rarely come up in my memory. I think that they have also the same feeling in life. Is it the ultimate fate in life?

This is life,we experience being together and being seperated.But just face the music,we could keep in touch and if we have the chance to meet again to renew our old friendship,isn't that be great?So just have confidence in our friend,those who really cares us would be meant to be a great relationship.Good luck.

Not really, you can still contact them so you won't forget each otehr.. I have some friends like that too- since we are far away from each otehr, we study in different schools and rarely see each other. But when we have the time, we hang out, on parties and school reunions..

Sometimes it is just what life dishes out. But that is not to say that you can't plan a get together in the not too distant future so you can be with them again. If you guys are really that close this will work. If not it is best you now and know what to expect from the future.

I think this is true of many people. At one time we were born, grew up and stayed in the same town, village or maybe even the same house all of our lives. Now most of us move around. I also think it has to do with where you are raised. Hubby, who was raised in a large family, in a small town in Texas is still very close to most of the people he went to school with. He has not been back to Texas in 50 years, but still managed to stay close to these people. Of course with the Internet he can be in contact with them almost daily. I on the other had was raised in California and sent away to school, I have kept very few long time friends and don't miss the ones I haven't kept. But my personality is very different from Hubby's. I don't regret my lack of contact with old friends and would not object contact with them again, but I am also very happy to move on to new friends also.

I take great pride in the fact that I got most of my classmates together many years after leaving school. The first get together was the most memorable. We saw each other so changed. Now this has caught fire and we have regular sessions organised by some other class mates also. In the process of collecting addresses I realised we had already lost 5 of our classmates!

in our lifetime, friends come and go, some stay and some just simply vanish, but the most important thing is that they have become part of one's life; having shared important events in our lives and learned a lot of the simple joys and pains, and hopefully when you meet by chance again, then that is the time to reminisce those memories, and hopefully rekindle the friendship again.

With the so many careers and goal paths one takes after graduation it is inevitable that many will be distance from one another. People tend to start their careers and or family and not have the extra time to check back with old friends. Of course with technology today there are ways to keep in touch. It is finding that the time at times that becomes the issue. Also while developing new lives we tend to develop new acquaintances and friends as well.

Life is how we live it. If we live with the present and enjoy it, past will seldom or rarely bothers us. If we live with memories from the past, the past will always haunt us and make us simply remember what our heart refused to forget.One thing is clear, you are enjoying your life at the present time and the people around you gives much pleasure as there's no more space for the past to haunts your busy and happy mind.
