#SMED 12
I recently bumped into a friend of mine, not
sure if I could call him that as we have not seen each other for years, since
high school in fact.
It was great seeing him after so many years.
We had great times together, visited each other’s homes, played together and had
lots of fun. When we completed grade 12,
we just drifted apart and started taking different pathways.
At college I met new people; we became
friends and started new lives. For the next three years bonds were formed. So much
so, that when my mother passed on, they stood strong with me and walked a
difficult road with me. Much time was spent together, studying, doing research
and even holidays. We enjoyed cafeteria time, the laughter, prepping for exams,
how I miss that time. Then when we reached the end of our diploma year, it felt
that the same cycle repeated itself. The gap grew wider and we saw less of each
other.
A new chapter started for each of us, some
married, made first steps in our careers and even got married. The question I
now ask myself is do we allow good friendships to drift apart and why? Maybe it
relates to a saying that,“People come into one’s life for a reason, a season or
a lifetime”. Could it be that those that were there for a season are now living in the shadows ?

I tend to agree. Friends, acquaintances, girlfriends were in our lives for a season and reason. In order to grow/ mature.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Niven. I've had many of those.. I've had a few close friends and we've just lost contact because life happened.. People change, priorities change and feelings change. It's sad when friendships / relationships come to an end, but it also teaches us to appreciate the moments we have everyday because it can change at any moment. Nice post Keith ! :) x
