One of the realities of life that we don't find easy to cling on to believe is that friends would leave.
Life is in stages, and not everyone you meet would be with you forever. Some persons you attach yourself to might just be someone at a juncture at a point in life.
As you grow, from stage to stage, especially from a financial level to a better one, there is a possibility of loosing some people.
Some would develop a grudge you cannot place the origin on. Not even all persons you call friends are there to make you succeed or are even happy when you do!
It is a natural law, that ways are meant to be parted at some points, but then it doesn't require to be ignorant and cause upheaval with the guise that some persons would be lost.
Don't just be stuck at a point mourning for something that can't be recovered.
You entered this world, single and so would you leave. You're not taking your friends along.
I have been in touch with someone who though has too many acquaintances told me that how he measures his growth is how many persons he loose at a stage. I didn't subscribe to that, but also it has some elements of reality!
Don't hold on for too long and miss substance.
