I didn't move the whole time I was growing up and had the same friends the whole first part of my life before college and a simliar thing is happening right now with us going down the path of becoming strangers. However, I do think that sometimes a person does need to go out make new friends. I just don't have anything in common with my old friends from high school. For better or worse they are going down a different path. I really resonate with this article though and thoroughly believe I need close friendships to be happy, but I do not think that one should hold onto old friendships, especially ones from high school that you were likely forced into, at all costs.
