Friends...they come and go

As you get older, you start to realize that some of the friends you have had are just not worth keeping....Now, that may sound harsh but it's the truth. We all have those "friends" that we have known since grade school, Jr. High, High School, etc that you keep in contact with. But some of those are the ones that you realize are not really worth keeping that bond with. It all starts with not really hanging out anymore and then that leads to not really talking that much anymore, and eventually they fade away. Some of the best friends I have are the ones I have made as a grown woman. And of course, no matter how much Audrey and I don't see eye to eye on things, she will always be worth keeping around. We get on each other's nerves at times, but hey...who doesn't? And I am sure Aud vents to her friends about me and that's ok....at times, I can be a bit much. But so can she.....but for some odd reason, It works. We get each other and just agree to disagree....

Anyway, back to the original topic....I have let go of a few high school friends and made some others I hope to have for years to come. And it takes time to fully let go of the old friends that you no longer want contact with...it's a long process....It's not that I hate the person or anything...we have just grown apart. And to me it's just not worth saving at this point.....I have wasted enough time and energy on this friendship and I am done. We are just too different to keep this going.....and I don't really care to try and repair it or figure anything out.

So, Friends come and go but most of mine stay around for a long time....with the exception of the few who have departed on my terms....nothing against them, I just want to close that chapter in my life and move on.....It's not high school anymore and I feel that I should be able to make the choice and the other person should be adult enough to respect it.
