Something had been disturbing inside for a while and it’s hard to ignore it.
There’s a quote said if you have been friends for more than certain years, the bond will be unbreakable. From what happened recently, I beg to differ.
The bond might still be there but, it no longer serves the same feeling like before.
Some people with whom you entered the first stage of adulthood together, shared so much secrets, tears , and laughters, at certain point, they’re no longer ones with whom you can share those stuffs.
I couldn’t believe how uncomfortable I was during a short meeting with someone whom once was really close to me. We could still talk but, there are many little things that I could no longer relate. Things that didn’t feel right to me seemed to be not a big deal for her. I felt like I haven’t changed and point the finger to her instead.
But then, I realized. Changes happened to both parties.
It’s impossible to stay the same for many years since we graduated from college. Yet, the present version is not something that I could really feel an instant click anymore. It was hard to believe I was really looking forward to the end of the rendezvous.
It’s hard to explain what makes it hard to enjoy the convo and the company. Is it because we don’t share the same season of life?
I realised that many of her views and decisions don’t suit mine. Or no longer do. Although we have talked about certain things over and over, it still doesn’t change the way she deals with problems, which I found quite confusing. But then, who am I to judge? I also come to an understanding that I don’t know much about her life anymore.
Maybe this is what we call growing apart?
I can relate. I think it’s just a matter of frequency, like a radio station or something. Sometimes, we’re on the same frequency with others, and other times, someone changes the station, and now we’re on a different frequency. It’s happened to me before, almost like the friend couldn’t hear/understand what I was saying anymore.
A good analogy!
