People go through different things in life that may change them. I dont blame people for changing though, cause Ive changed too, but yeah it sucks sometimes. Not everyone grows up on the same page. :yeshrug: You get different interests, different outlooks, different priorities as you continue through life.

this even with relatives. some people get mad and look at me funny for it but i wish i could explain that i still got love for them but we just aren't the same people as back then.

I have the same friends I have had since I grew up with. I don't talk to my HS friends moreso cause they in different states (went to HS away from Philly) and its not much to talk about but it wasn't no "I'm better than these nikkas let me leave them" that most people scream when this question comes up on these messageboards. When I'm back in Louisiana I still see them and kick it with them though. My friends are the same but if you not close in distance we not going to have much to talk about thats all. Some have got married and/or had kids but outside of that I'm still good with all my peoples.

You must take time for phone calls and trips to see friends. It costs money to maintain relationships and to network. Send silly texts and frivolous emails periodically, too.

Eventually, a friend is gonna stake the relationship on whether you will marry them or not. That is when things get muy interesante.

staying loyal to old friends is almost always a recipe for disaster. Knowing someone for a long time is some real shyt but that doesn't mean there is a legit reason to be loyal to that friendship if that person starts fukkin up.

Friends change for a variety of reasons. Trust is broken. Priorities about life changes. Lifestyles change. Sometimes one matures more than another. Sometimes people get a wild hair up their asses and decide to completely become a different person. In any case, a good friendship will often pick up from where you left off, even if you haven't talked in a while. If you did some fukked up shyt or if they did some fukked up shyt to you, then maybe not so much. Change shouldn't be a scary thing. If you're a genuinely good person with interesting qualities, a new friend is only a couple of friendly gestures away.

One of my favorite Muhammad Ali quotes:

"A man that views the world the same at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life."

i just got out of college last year so i'm fresh in the game



i can see some friends have turned to acquaintances. i'm still cool with a few friends from HS but it's down to about 3-4, and my 'good' friends from college is probably down to 5-10



when i've gone to see friends though, it's pretty much picked up where it left off. it's always a nice 2-3 days away from work and life



me and my young brother be close tho, as long as we cool i'm good on friends they're all a luxury



also almost all female friends have gone to 'the bushes' except for one, i dont know if thats a general trend for yall but it just happened naturally :manny:
