An Answer To A Facebook Post

This blog post is an answer to a facebook status I stumbled upon regarding the lost of contact of friends after graduation that seems to indicate friends no longer care each other.

There are reasons why I said high school life is awesome. I am going to focus at only one that I think is relevant in answering your question. In high school, you at first are placed in a designated locations with strangers you do not know, and as time evolves you slowly mingle with each other and end up become friends. Depriving of the luxury of having any sort of entertainment and being crammed in a stuffy classroom at an age where humans are known to be the most active, improvisation, impromptu talking and spontaneous games are being actively created and invented to have fun with friends at times you feel boring.

And thus friendship grows and strengthens over time. After graduation, it is a fact that friends go different route and walk different path. Your life no longer largely overlap and, since life goes on, everyone takes on different lifestyle in pursuing their own dream. Graduation signals an end of high school, and end of overlapping life. Being busied with own work meaning everybody has less overlapping time that could be spent together as they could when they were in high school. As such, naturally, contact between friends grow less frequent and in consequence people do not get along as close and as often as they could.

However, this does not mean friendship could not hold. It still could, the only difference is that you do not get along with each other as often as before, and thus seemingly indicate that friendship has deteriorated ans friends no longer care for each other. This is, understandably, wrong and caused by deception. Friendships could still hold, unless you completely sever the ties deliberately, or that you have lost contact with your friend for a very long time to such a point you have absolutely no idea what has happened in recent times to your friends. This could happen, and is inevitably as with your limited time, you could not possibly contact all the friends you made in high school. This is not a volunteer process, and it is imminent you will lost contact with whom you are not very close.

But since you are not close to them, you most likely wouldn't mind losing them. This is a sad fact, but look on the bright side, you'll still make new friends as you move on to your next stage of life. Life can take a turn, just be patient. Lights may change colour but it will not easily dim.
