Topic: Old Friends.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. We all have friends that we used to be close with and had such great memories together. After time passes, you lose contact and eventually run into each other in the future and it feels awkward. I've had this happen to me a few times recently. I also invited over an old friends to my apartment. It was fun for the first hour while we started to catch up and talk of our history. It quickly went from being comfortable and fun to awkwardly silent. I had a few friends over, including my roommate, and we just sat there doing our own thing. I couldn't help but wonder what happened? Why do people separate the way they do? I do miss him as a friends, but we don't relate anymore. I suppose we've all changed since we were close, though. He plays a lot of video games, he is also into drinking and rock shows. My roommate and I are more into other things such as knowledge, news, and being sober. My roommate and I don't play many video games, so we can't chat about that. This is the way life works. I've had plenty of friends in and out of my life. I make new ones as quickly as I lose the old. I don't mean to sound ungrateful. I am very thankful for the friends that I do have. I am also glad that I have such a warm and friendly personality to make the friends I make. My roommate is my best friends. Him and I have known each other since preschool. We grew up together, and we've, for the the most part, had the exact same friends over the years. I have always been thankful for that, but I digress. Old friends are something that is too easily lost, but never forgotten. I will always possess the memories of my old friends, regardless if they still treasure the same moments. Memory is one thing I am key on. I love to remember old times, good or bad. Every new person I meet, I learn something new from, as I hope they do from me. I am always looking for new people to meet and hang out with. I just have one unfortunate thing that holds me back from relating to people my age. I do not like to drink alcohol. Once in awhile, I will. It's something I've never been really into. I've seen it destroy too many lives for me to over look it. I don't think of myself as better than any person who does drink, it's just not my thing. Never forget who your old friends were. They made you the person you are today.
