This is life

Why do our parents grow old with their only friends being the ones that they work with 

Or their families

Because its really hard  

I realized

A friend once told me that the trade I am in would result in you losing friends that you so dearly treasure

But I realized, losing friends is just part and parcel of life

When things and circumstances change you inevitably lose touch of the intricacies of certain buddies' life and thoughts

No longer are the bonds that you once had as strong as you thought they would be

Had this strong sentiment when I met some old friends that day

As we chatted over a meal I just felt that there was just a missing puzzle piece

Some tinge of awkwardness that could be felt by all of us but was purposely ignored

Maybe it's be but I just feel like we're on a different page now

Don't say that it's cos you guys were never close

Cow I know jolly well that it's precisely because we were close that I'm feeling vaguely sad and disappointed

That my friends have remained at the same stage but I have moved on

But. There's still a lifetime ahead. Many things could still change and yup maybe someday

We will again find a road leading to the same place

And till then, I'm off to chase some dreams
