The most beautiful discovery that true friends can make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.
~ Elizabeth Foley
A very beautiful thought...and very true..๐
I've actually experienced this....I had a friend since kindergarten...we used to fight a lot then...punching, slapping, pulling each other's hair(mine๐)...
Then we lost contact for nearly 5-6 years, but when we met again, our friendship had changed, but for the better..
We had both made so many new friends...we had lost friends..our interests, thinking, beliefs, everything had changed...
We used to fight before, we still do...we used to talk the whole day continuously( our poor teachers๐๐), and we still talk or sms each other continuously( our poor parents and handsets๐๐)...
But somehow things have changed...we have both become mature...we understand life, but when we are together, it's like we're back in UKG..
Our friendship is stronger than before, even though we can't meet each other because of our studies..
Growing up separately means that friends can develop individually without influencing each other too much...it gives the required space to grow as distinct individuals. It allows them to meet new people, and to develop interests separate from each other, which is great because then they can share more things with each other.
Too much closeness can sometimes break the friendship...
True friendship is what our heart feels..and such feelings do not die out just because of distance...in fact, they become more intense as we miss our friend...
