Losing friends as you grow up is a sign of Growing up
Date: 20th March, 2022
SundayHello family. Another morning and another day started to shading slowly. Life is moving fast & we are following it’s path. Accepting news forms, pushing away wastes while negotiating new options and rejecting old things. This is the modern era which teaches us to be less emotionally attach with everything. Everything & everyone. The more you feel for your gadgets, properties, assets & people, the more you will feel the pain. Day by day we grow up and we see our beloved people decreasing. Not because of death but because of our less need. For example, our friends. How many of you have now comparing your childhood? This single question can answer the entire article.
Losing friends as you grow up, is a sign of growing up. People say that which I believe now. I had many friends in my childhood whom I played with. Well, when I say childhood that means I am not talking about my 2/3yrs old age experience, I'm talking about the age of 5/6yrs. At least from when we start remembering everything. We have limited version or remembering incidents. Ok, where was I? Yes, with my friends. Before going school I have local friends. From neighbours obviously. Some of them joined me in my school days. So that was a huge plus point. Because after school and before school, we remained the same and shared everything. I got new friends there. The numbers increased every year untill I bade goodbye to my primary school days. Then in high school, college, university. It never stopped increasing. Beside this, the local friends increased too. So the numbers looked well when I count.
We all had this one. Our list got new names every year. New people and new experiences. But every thing in this world has a perfect time to shed. The calculated numbers start to less from the equation. The numbers never lie and so our life situation. We start keeping pace with the changing world and suddenly find out less times for the friends and even for the family. We cannot blame ourselves because our other friends are doing the same things. They are running too. They are also eager to keep upgrading with modern era.
The change looks simple but the fact is we are grown up now. We don’t feel sad for not meeting friends for a long time. We don’t feel angry for what they have done to us by not responding our phone calls because we had done same thing. We are mature enough to show excuses and surprisingly no one blames another person for it! Simply we all have grown up too. We understand how it works, we know how to deal with it, we managed our life that way & now, we are just following it. Like a rule & following the era.
We understand the loss when we find ourselves alone in the end. We feel the passion when we a bunch of children doing the same thing what we had done before. Maybe while getting stuck in a traffic jam, we can see two friends going school together while putting hands around each other's shoulder. That hit hard. Still we have friends but less in number. We have lost many and never felt it that way. The growing up nature has ended our that emotional attachment. Remember the line at the beginning when I mentioned attachment of everything getting less. See? We even getting less feelings for our lost friends! That's the point of growing up. You rise up and find less people around you whom you call friends.
Life has given us many things and fulfilled our dreams. But everything has it’s own cost. Growing up cost us friends. We have them still but less in numbers. They have the same. Our life, our busy schedule, our getting more opportunities has shed us many things. Just look at your life and count how many people you lost whom you called brother/sister from another mother. Have a list. You will find out memories and couple of drops of tears in the end. This is life my beloved friends.

I miss many friends, I would like to see them again someday, I shared beautiful moments with them, but of all my life and of all my real friends there is one in particular with whom I would like to have more contact, I would like to rescue her, but it seems that she does not have time.
