Someone questioned my recent decision to "clean out my friendship closet..." was it a wise move? Looking back over a year later. YES. Do I miss them ? YES! And I still think of them often. I do not think of why we stopped being friends rather I try to think only of the good memories that we had before. Time changes everything. Experience can change everything. As in relationships like marriage - friends can grow and go in different directions. What I no longer want is a friend has become very clear over time. I will no longer sit around and gossip about people - judge them for what they have or don't have - I also don't want to sit around and DRINK anymore to be social. Those days for me are done. Sometimes your friends are at a different place. So you either move on or stay and not be true to yourself or your friend. I decided to move on.
All you can do is try to do what is best for yourself. Do what it takes to make yourself a better person sometimes when you grow you've got to go it alone. I don't 'hate' anyone that I was once friends with - EVERYONE teaches us something and to be friends in the first place we must have had a lot of fun at one point! BUT when its time to move on - it's time to move on - as with a job, a career, relationship, friendship.
So yes, I still miss and think of them often, No- I do not regret moving on.
It's all a part of life.
I do only try to surround myself now with those that lift me higher - in the heart and mind. That is where it matters most. xox <><
