Yeah I know you will fell lonely. But we must rejoice the fact that he has completed his graduation and will go further. You still contact him through any means. You can also meet up with him when you go to his place or he comes to your place.

thank you my friend. surely i will do what you said. but as of now, i am still trying to accept the fact that he will be no longer on my side or be at the apartment. it will not be easy though, but i have to accept all this.. it is his destiny to do what he has to do..but the transition period is not easy...

In school I learned that you lose friendships because of distance either they've moved or the two have drifted apart. I was taught that you can lose friends in elementary, middle, high or college, and drifting apart because of new relationships (romantic or otherwise) can be the biggest part. People change and that's a given, but whether friends can deal with the change is another thing. Try to stay in contact with your friend, just because he is moving doesn't mean that you can't stay in touch, if you do your part to stay in touch and he does his, you can still be friends and maybe you'll never drift apart. I hope that this was clear!

you should be missing hinm fo0r a little time and when you get to be busy wth your work or your new school, your contacts with him will be lesser day by day. :D hehe happened to me! just wish your friend well and hope to see him more often when he comes home to your town.. :D

Hi, yes,U'll feel deserted for sometime.Ur heart will cry. But as mature friend Ur feeling should not come on his way of Progress! World is a village now,contacting him regularly is no issue.Only possibly physical distance will be there in between you. Take an oath U'll remain as one mind with two bodies,till the time U both re-unite. =Lahiri,Kolkata,India.

They say once a friend always a friend for me I may feel a moment of missing but I would recover from that easily for I know my friend is moving on forward in life and will be achieving his or her goal and I would be very happy seeing her succeed in everything she do. There is always a tomorrow in which you would see each other again and when that happen greater joy will overflow.....

That is very tough situation you are facing. Departure of your friend is causing you to bare the pain of missing your friend. But you should justify that is the leaving of your friend in the benefit of your friend. If it is like so then you should not worry and you should sacrifice on cost of the friendship of your friend.

thank you.. the pain is really not easy. as of now, i lose the communication between us. to think that he is leaving, really would leave me hanging and longing for him. it is not easy though.. but i am trying to cope up with the drastic changes that would soon take place. he is not at the apartment right now, so it is still fine.. but to think otherwise that sooner or later he would be gone, that really saddened me.. hmmm

I felt the same way when I graduated from college many years ago but as time passed by I learned that people come and go. You can still talk to your friend though coz of the technological advancements that we have. I agree that it's hard...but you will get used to it. You will meet different types of people, make friends with some, but there will come a time that the friend that you have needs to leave. Life's like that hehe. Good luck on everything Jing...enjoy life!
