When embarking on a new life journey the people we meet here, the relations we make might actually last for a lifetime. However there is always the fear of losing friends; friends who have been part of our lives for months, years even and thus become part of our comfort zone. People come and go and its normal to lose some friends because there is a natural limit to the number of close friendships that we can maintain. Whether new or old, some relations are meant to last for really long irrespective of the hurdles that come in the way.
Maintaining relations is easier said than done. We have a habit of giving up on people when things get chaotic and be completely obsolete to the fact that we need them. People go about showing how self sufficient and independent they are but people need people otherwise how do you survive? Some relations work while some don't but that's part and parcel of life. The truth is that our life circumstances forces us in and out of friendships. Some relations are rooted in history and distance will certainly not affect that.
You may not talk everyday or even every week because everybody is busy but these are the people that if you called them in the middle of the night and said "I need you" they would come, no questions asked. You can't live a life with just the acquaintances you make on a daily basis. You need your people. You need your listening ears, your own pair of shoulders to lean on, your personal hands to hold when the going gets tough. Hold on to your people because we need each other to share the joys, to rant about the unpredictability of life. Hold on because they are your anchor when you drift apart.
