its just not the same anymore
When we were kids.. we would say to our friends, lets be Friends Forever and sometimes, we don't really mean it, not because we are unkind or mean but we were too young to really understand the meaning of being someone's friend and being there for that person.
As we grow older, we begin to understand the meaning of the two words, its not as simple as they sound or they use to be. Its about supporting someone mentally, emotionally and being there each time they need someone to talk to. I found that over the years, there are a few people in my life that I truly call friends and there are some people that i know i can count on when I am feeling like a piece of shit.
I have a friend whom I know for 9 years, we use to be really really close, we will talk on the phone everyday and we will update each other on the slightest and newest news / gossip. I left Singapore for Uni. in Canada. Keeping in touch proved to be difficult but I made all possible efforts. We remained close. To a certain point, I felt that it was I who was maintaining the friendship and keeping the communications between the two of us. Last night, I thought of something not quite pleasant and I realised that the old me would run to the phone and call my friend. Instead, I found myself not wanting to go near the phone. It became really apparent that 'its just not the same anymore'. Its sad... But people grow and people change...
Then I thought of the other close friend I have in my life and I realised that even not meeting them for weeks does not change the fact that we are still there for each other. Some of my closest friends are not even in the same country as I am ! For that, I am really thankful, for that, I wish that our friendship will grow stronger with each year.
To the few special friends I have out there, you know who you are, the one that got away from Germany to Canada and now Korea, the one that moved from Thailand to Canada to Poland, back to Canada and soon Istanbul. The one that stayed in Canada for the longest time of his life and now relocating to Singapore. The one that went to London for a few months and came back to Singapore. The one that I meet only in Siglap, Singapore. The ones that never moved but stayed in Singapore all their lives yet knows and understands me best during and outside board games. And the one that moved from Indonesia to Singapore... The one that stayed on Vancouver Island all his life, moved to Whistle and back.
I MISS YOU GUYS LOTS ! I have been so busy at work. I promise I will take time off to meet you guys soon !

I have a working from home jobs site/blog. It pretty much covers working from home jobs related stuff.
heh, i know exactly who ur talking about. I feel the same way about those ppl, and about lots of other ppl. It does feel strange when you have to move on to the next 'big' phase of ur life, and some of your closest friends are not able to follow u there.
I'm moving to Japan! Aieeee!
