Old friends
June 4/2004
I was at my friend's commencement (graduation) ceremony last night. This was a girl I grew up with. We were always together when we were kids. Then I moved away 5 years ago. Now whenever I see her we seem so different to eachother. Not like we're best friends but more like aquaintances. It's weird. We've only seen eachother about 9 or 10 times in the past 5 years. We've really grown apart and I hadn't realized it until last night. It's kind of painful.
I ran into another old friend though who I haven't seen since I've moved away from my old town. She didn't recognize me at first and looked at me like I was crazy when I said hi. Then it clicked and she freaked out. Started hugging me and shouting "Oh my god!". It was nice to see her. She looked great.
Growing apart from your childhood friend is tough. But I'll try to make due. I'm probably going to phone her sometime soon so we can catch up or something.
