People come, people go in our lives

It is common observation and per experience too that people we met along our life's journey would rarely be with us until the end of our life. I have felt this when some good friends of mine have gone away for some reasons. It is not that they became my enemies rather we have attended to our own priorities in life. Some transferred school after elementary, high school and college. Others have worked in other places, gotten married and have children that you would rarely get to see them again no matter how close you were before. Only few would remain to be your friends forever.

This is life, we can't hold forever all those things that are close to us. It makes me sad sometimes when i remember all the good times that I had with my old friends. I miss those laughters and silly things that we made when we were still young. Our priorities in life forced us to temporarily let go of those dear to us. I'm still happy that eventhough I and some of my friend can no longer see each other personally yet we still have communications. A big thanks to facebook! :)

You are right woolscupiee! What we have are only memories of the good old days with them. Thanks to Facebook, we have reunited with those wonderful people who were once with us in both bad and good times.

i used to be like that. almost my classmates during elementary and high school became my friends but now only few of them has contact to me, and rarely we see each other. and i think after my college days, this will happen also. by the way, we find friends in the school but not all of them will us until we die.

Bear with it ernjsimon, it's the reality that no matter how close we are with our friends in elementary and high school, only very few would remain to be our friends in college. After college, for sure you will be leaving again some of your friends as you move on to the world of work.Then, you will be meeting again some new friends through your colleagues in the workplace.

In our lifetime, friends truly come and go as we are individually different as to what we want in life. They would surely be a significant part in our life as they would have surely affected our lives good or bad, and surely there would be those would stay through thick and thin.

that is facts of life that teach us to cherish every moment we spend with every one we met. So it will bring good memory of of ourself and others when we reminisce every one we have met. It is normal things might get ugly but just remember to make the best out of everything... cheers!

You are right cai, we really have to cherish most of the time while those people close to us are still around us...

Yes, people may come and go in our lives, sometimes they come so quickly and go so quickly, there maybe some that remain but only a few, there still some that comes back. But the question is are we making sense with our experiences with these people i mean do we have lessons that we learn from each one?... Sometimes we forgot that we can learn from them, but we just let them go and the lessons that we might have learn from them might be one of the million that we can take it for a life time that we an still remember their presence even they're not there anymore.

Its true! This is life, but I do have some friends that although we have our own lives and families we need to tend to, we will talk on occasion. And when we do, we pick up exactly where we left off. A true friend. Everyone has their own life path and not everyone we meet are meant to be a part of it forever, rather they leave a special place for us to remember them always.

Good for you, at least you were able to keep some good old friends with you. Constant communication can really help sustain the friendship.

This is a fact of life that is inevitable.... sometimes you wish the people you were really close to would never go far from you but that is unavoidable. People do come and go they touch your life and some leave... but good friends will always be your friends no matter how long you have not seen each other, and though many years would have gone by when you reunite it's as if nothing has ever changed between the two of you. That is such a special friendship worth keeping. There are those friendships we have formed and they are there throughout your living days and thank God for those kind of friendship that endures the test of time.
