As said by someone “People change,things change,time changes, priorities change,but expectations always remain the same” .
Nothing is permanent in life-not even the company of your loved ones. We need to understand the fact that every person we meet is there to accompany us in a particular phase of life. It is very rear that friends we make in childhood have same goals, same thoughts like us. So it is obvious that they will be on different path from us. *So as the time changes paths change because goals change. Now since they are on a different path with different goals so it is obvious that they will meet new people- “People with common path and common goal”. So now priorities change. But one thing that didn’t changed over the time was our expectation. Expectations always remain the same. Despite of this great change- “Change in time” we still expect that person to behave same as he used to behave years ago. Instead of changing our expectations we change our perception that person has changed. But they have not.
So, they have not forgotten you but their current priorities regarding their life goal might have changed. They are now more in touch with new people on same journey than you. Try to remain in touch of your friends but remember one thing “Good friends always occupy a special place in heart even if you are out of touch for years.”
Happy Reading :)
Thank you for your thoughtful comment.
Actually when it comes to friend, the older the better
I appreciate your perspective. I’ve recently come to a similar resolution, in terms of how to maintain old relationships. I’ve always tried to only hold onto the good times. I eventually realized how unsustainable of an ideal that really was. Knowing that, gave me peace, and allowed me to change my thought process. Now I welcome change, along with fresh relationships. Thanks for the added clarity :)
