Or even just somebody you talk to sometimes at work or even just one night at a pub or something and then that's them gone and you'll probably never see them again. Or old friends in general, I remember being at primary school and thinking that everyone would still know each other years later. Yet from my class I still talk to three, one of which is my girlfriend. People I used to like at Secondary School I never see anymore, people from old jobs who I spent miserable 10 hour shifts beside disappear out your life. Even relatives who you only ever see at Christmas, I just find it said. Especially looking back and the rose tinted glasses of nostalgia take hold, even though at the time it was crap you still feel sad that such a time is over.
Ah well I just thought I'd write a little piece because I met my oldest friend at work the other night and it's strange how people change when you don't see them as much, people you'd tell anything to suddenly can become complete strangers.
I'm not good at meeting new people, that's why I don't like losing touch with old friends.
I am lucky in that a hell of a lot of my friends from school and that have stuck together.
but yeah, nostalgia and times gone by mean a lot to me.
Sometimes when I have not seen someone in a while I'll phone them up and arrange to meet them for a drink. Do it. Very rarely is it anything other than a good laugh. Sometimes it makes you resolve to keep in touch, other times to let go of the past. Either way, it is worth it.
Got to me too.
I miss a lot of people. In my new job I have little in common with people other then the job. I see little to nothing of my old friends too.
I just put it down to 'that's life'. I still keep their numbers and speak to them when I can, but you've got to accept that it'll happen, but just think - you meet new and interesting people all the time.
It's a mini adventure.
