Time passes, people change. The best of friends from our formative years tend to be less present in our lives as we get older, as they all split off, move to different places, and start families. While it’s not always the case, oftentimes childhood friends drift apart. It usually happens naturally, and here are three of the many reasons why that’s ok.
Distance is difficult. Not everyone spends their entire life where they grew up. The world, after all, is a big place, and opportunities can sometimes take us far from home. Great distances can often put a strain on even the closest of friendships, and when it does, it’s only natural for people to drift apart.
Interests change. We’re not all the same people we were back in school, so it’s only natural that we wouldn’t necessarily be interested in the same things we were back when we were in school. As our personalities developed so did our interests, and sometimes we find ourselves losing the common interests that made for our best friendships. It happens, and when it doesn’ it’s ok to move on.
Priorities change. When we’re young, we’re usually free of responsibilities. But adulthood brings about jobs, houses, and families, all of which become priorities in our lives, priorities that may leave far less time for those we once called friends. It doesn’t mean those friends don’t matter, but it’s ok to put other things first.
