friendship-how it fades

what's it about it that makes people feel the need to be in it. sometimes i get it and sometimes I'm like why? why? the hell do i need people. is it that most of us have this innate desire to be a part of something or we just do it because it is programmed in our DNA to socialize and at the end of the day we just don't know how we got to be with people. sometimes i think it is necessary especially when all is not feeling well but there is a catch which is the fact that as we grow old we tend to meet different people along the way and the people we were once close are not like it used to be anymore. this is quite scary because this shows that the friends you have today may not be the ones you have tomorrow and this i say is alot of a fright. that means a friend of mine i might have shared alot with might not be that close to me tomorrow. that's harsh. life is though but i never really understood the magnitude of things until right now. i love my friends and to break form them is like i don't even want to think about it though my mum once told me that when friendships fade and we move on we don't really feel it. its like we are already programmed to just go with the flow. the truth that most of us really get faced with is that at different points in our lives our priorities change and to that result most of our friends have to change because our points of view don't really mesh well like it used to. i most of us would say we still have the same friends we had since we were kids but if you look closely its not like the way it used to be. either we are putting up with each other for the sake of history we share or just because our priorities are still the same. either ways, there's still some strain somewhere. hmm, life is strange, tough and unexpected. right now I'm taking a look at my life from my nursery to primary to secondary to university and to be honest my priorities, friends and almost everything except my name and family and DNA and the unchangeables have changed. wow, that's cold.
