This is so true.

I’m the kind of person who will always make time for the people who matter to me – be it my friends, family, work colleagues, even acquaintances.

This summer, I learned a lot about some of the people I thought I knew.  People change - the status quo of ones’ past relationship with one another also change.  The relationship  or rapport you share with someone may seem stable or solid or even continuous when you are miles apart – but the true test comes about when you come in contact again.

As with any relationship – it takes time and effort from all those involved for the relationship to cultivate and continue to grow.  If  it’s just one-sided -  then is it really as real as you think it to be ?

Now I know who are the ones that really matter and the ones that don’t.  This way I save my time and energy for those that are important to me.

Have you felt that way ? Have you ever experienced a distance between yourself and someone you considered a friend ?

Yes this has happened to me when my relationships with some of my very good friends changed.

I feel that things keep happening in everyone's life. Some can handle it and some cannot. The key is to not expect too much but walk your own path and do your own thing. You will make new friends along the way. Some relationships last for a life time and some even if it has a lot of promise right now might vanish in some time.

I hear you on this ! The key is to not expect too much ... I wrote a post on Expectations the other day, it would be great to get your point of view on that.

Thanks for stopping by =)

To bring up an old difference of opinion that we have, this is the exact reason I don't mind dating friends. Time passes, people change, distances are bound to appear. Thus the fear of losing a friend is unfounded as it may happen anyway. On the other hand some friendships do last for what seems to be forever but the benefits outweigh the risks.

I hear what you are saying but I still don't think I would personally be able to date a 'friend' (and by that I mean one of my best male friends). It's a bit weird for me (and for them as this discussion has taken place)

People change - it's natural. I suppose in a way due to the expectations we hold of people (because of the relationship you share, the things that have been said, the past actions etc); the changes can sometimes stir painful emotions.
