At is only natural to "grow out of your friends", we change so much through the decades. We look for different experiences, delete old obsolete values and along with that, go the friends that are associated to those past moments.It seems that our urge for self-improvement allows space only for what has not been lived, not experienced. Only relations that represent a challenge and are fresh, appeal to us when we are young. The tendency is to neglect old friendships.In my case, I was fortunate enough to have the benift of long lost friends, who rescued me at a time when my life was a total wreck.It was then that old friends intervened and reminded me of my worth. They were vital in the "reconstruction" of my self-steem. Based on the view they had of the old me, the helped me see facts more clearly. Maybe a good piece of advice would be to keep in touch with old friends, at least attempt to keep track of what they have been doing and their whereabouts. It is important to be able to reach for, if possible, all the references that provide you with a sense of wholeness.
