Welcome to my semi-charmed life...

Disconnected

I've been quite frustrated with the status of some of my old friendships lately. I feel like this is another point of my life where I need to cut some strings. I learned that some people just change, to a point where I feel like I don't even know who they are anymore. For some people, its more drastic than others. Or maybe they remind me of a time in my life that has long been over or evolved. I'm not afraid to cut some strings in my life right now, but sometimes, I'm still wondering if its the right thing to do.

There are some people who has been a part of my life at a certain time, but once that's over, I feel like its so hard to find any common ground with them. I find it hard to connect with people who in my opinion changed a lot since I've known them. But then again, I've matured and grown more as time passes as well. So in other words, some of my friends and I have grown far apart from eachother. There develops a clash of personality, values, background, and understanding, making a situation very uncomfortable and awkward. It seems as if the only thing that binds us, is really our past together but that part of our lives has long gone. We went on our own separate paths and coming together again, in some cases, seems...pointless. Sometimes there's just nothing to talk about, or you might bring up a topic that may be sensitive to the other person without knowing.(because you weren't aware of it).

There are friends who I feel comfortable around with, no matter how long we havn't seen eachother, because somehow we maintain a common ground or a connection with one another. But right now, I'm dealing with friends whom I feel have drifted apart. Maybe its time to just say goodbye and start new friendships on the path ahead.
