Have you ever sat down and just wondered where all of the time went? How did your best friend in the whole wide world, from first through sixth grade, end up being somewhat of an acquaintance by the time Junior High had ended? What about the Junior High best friend? Were they still your best friend in high school? And what about now?
Normally, as we grow older that real friend list (not on Facebook, we're talking real life here) shrinks down and most childhood "best friends" become a "hey how have you been". The good thing is that there are normally those select few who have always been by your side. Those are the ones that you know for a fact will never EVER just be a "hey how are you doing". They will always be the people who you keep in touch with no matter where you end up in the real world.
Now, even though it is easier to keep in touch with people (or maybe just "creep" on them) via social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, blogs, we still do not have that same close knit friendship with most people as we used to. I can proudly say that I, surprisingly, still have a total of 4 best friends who I have known since Elementary School. The crazy part is that these 4 people (who I have known forever) make up pretty much 3/4 of my close knit friends. I am not going to go too much into detail with my own personal statistics on this since they really are not very important. The only thing that I would like to add is that even though I complain about my parents moving me to the middle of no where when I was younger, I am very thankful that I have met these very important people who will forever be a part of my life
I plan on expanding on this topic at a later date. In the meantime, feel free to comment about your own experience with this (if anyone actually reads this that is).
