Friends Come and Go

I had a friend once who told me that "Friends... They come and They go." I never thought that I could actually say that I believed that until recently... You see, I've always been one to keep in contact with all of my good friends that I've had no matter where they are or what they might be doing with their life. It has never seemed to matter that we might have changed into completely different people, who have nothing in common anymore... We've still been friends.

But, I've decided that there was more to that saying than what I thought... Friends to come and go. They care one day, but not the next... That really bugs me! I am one for consistency! I've decided that anyone who is only there when it's convenient for them is a one way friend. I know that maybe I have been this at times to people, but I've always tried to love and treat every one of my friends equally.

One problem I've had this year is that most of my friends left on missions. I love that they went... But, I've also noticed that pretty much everyone that is still here... minus like one person... Has changed into friends that come and go. And, I'm learning who to trust with the big things and who doesn't care enough that I actually want to tell them anymore...

With the friends that come and go... I don't know if it's just because I'm not "cool" enough anymore or just that we've grown apart. Maybe they new better friends... I'm not really sure. Maybe they feel like I'm not there for them...

I guess all I can say for now is that friends come and go. Hopefully the good ones find a way to stick around.

Here are some pictures of friends that I love... Some of them come and go... But, I'm still grateful for the memories.
