A life full of changes is just that, A life!

Sent out in the world as children we learn many lesson's along the way.
We develop a sense in which we feel we need to belong to someone or something. It can take a long time to connect with another person. Or it can happen in a flash of a second.

Connection isn't always the hardest part in a relationship. Sometimes the hardest part is learning how to grow with another individual. In our life time we will have many relationships. Most of us will sit and reminisce about an old childhood friend we once knew.

We might wonder what happened to them a long their own journey. Thinking back of the good times and exciting moments you may have shared. Not every friendship starts with your childhood, We meet people as we get older and live
out our chapters of life. Many people come and go through out these stages. Friendship is apart of our growth. Everyone we meet a long the way has some importance in our lives. We learn many lesson's and example's
from every individual we come a cross. Good or bad we take something from each person.

The changes that will affect a friendship is growth. People are always changing and with that being said either you can grow with them or a part from them. There is no good or bad in this it's just life. Sure it can be sad or even disappointing, But that is a part of life.

That is life! A part of our existence is to learn. Life gives us many opportunities to do just that. We as our individual self's can learn some lesson's on our own. However, We are not alone so most of our lessons include each other.
A few moment's in time with someone may give you a life time full
of what to do or what not to do in your own life. We observe how others act in situations that we see are going on.

At that very point we decide if that is how we would react. Some situations in life that we go through with our friends, Determines without us even
knowing in some cases if that is truly how you see things though your own perspective. We start to question our relationships at this point. This is one of many example's where we choose if this friendship has potential or if it will just fade out like a theatrical scene from a play. Like I have said before there is no right or wrong in this particular way of sorting through our feelings. We as people will choose what it is that we feel the need to surround ourselves with in life.

However sad this can be, It is just a part of life. People grow and change everyday. Their beliefs and perspectives may not always agree with you as their friend or to them as you are their friend. Holding on to a friendship when there is nothing left you can take from it or give into it, Is not fair to them or yourself. Many of us hold out at just walking away. We often feel it may be a phase the other is going through. It will pass we think to ourselves. Often times it does not pass. They have grown in another direction different from the one you were on together. When a friendship is going in another direction because of human growth and differences, It is just time to move on. We as people take from life what we need. Life is full of many lessons that cant all be learned by one or a group of people. We need many lives to help us shape ours through learning and growing either together or with someone new that can bring more to what we feel our lives need.
