I found this article and i could relate to this. I somehow are very very closed to this group of friends. However, as we grew older, we grew apart. I'm not sure if it was me or them who changed but we are clearly growing apart.
"The more you try to pretend the friendship is the same, the more obvious it becomes that it’s changed."
So, Yes. I have tried. I have tried my best too many times. Pretending that we were still the same. There's nothing that has changed. But it become so obvious that things have changed. I literally give up trying. And lets just say I accept the fact that we are no longer best friends.
Because if you still think them as your best friends, it is so freaking SAD, that ...
You’ll just always be reminded of how close you USED to be and how everything’s now changed and you’re not sure why. To me, that seems more painful than just cutting the friendship off. (but I don't mean cutting off, just accept the fact that they are no longer your best friends, but just friends.)
Sometimes you grow apart from your best friend and there really isn’t a good reason as to why.
Sometimes you just grow apart from people. You get older, your personality matures or devolves, and all of a sudden you find yourself not having a whole lot in common with someone you once did. This is just a casualty of growing up. For some reason, “growing apart” is the hardest thing to come to terms with.
