"Losing My Way or My Friend?"

Its said good friends never lose touch, I think this is true so why do can you feel like a good friend is pulling away or that you are losing them? Not matter whether you lose a good friend you always have love for them because that between true friends never changes. 


Maybe its the fear of losing a friend that gets you feeling down with out having actually lost that friend. I came across this quote that was very interesting for me.


The very first thing I remember in my early child-hood is a flame, a blue flame jumping off a gas stove somebody lit..... I was three years old, .... I felt fear, real fear, for the first time in my life. But I remember it also like some kind of adventure, some kind of weird joy, too. I guess that experience took me some place in my head I hadn't been before. To some frontier, the edge, maybe, of everything possible..... the fear I had was almost like an invitation, a challenge to go forward into something I knew nothing about. That's where I think my personal philosophy of life..... started, with that moment ....... in my mind I have always believed and that thought since then that my motion had to be forward, away from the heat of that flame.  - Miles Davis
 Its interesting because he talks of his first experience of fear and how it was also some form of excitement but  I believe this is a completely different fear of losing your closest and best friend. I don't know whether when you are in this situation you are just overreacting to nothing much or are realising that you may be losing your friend and try stop it from happening. Either way I know that the feeling of having your best friend edge away from you is hard to deal with or even contemplate. Lets hope that you never have to experience it, its not that complicated but just 5 words

  1. losing friends is always hard man.. it really tests the relationship.. and makes you re-evaluate whats important!

    it never gets easier, you just learn to live with it, but the pain is still there, when you cant see them when your down etc.

    when i was 18 my best friend moved to australia, we used to spend everyday together and i still miss her to this day, but you know what, friendship prevailed, i skype/email here nearly everyday, even after 7 years, i speak to her more than i speak to alot of people in manchester, but thats what friends are about.

    no questions, no limitations, just friends.

    peace x
