Lately, I have met and said goodbye to many people. People who I like very much but no longer keep in touch. We move, get fired, switch jobs, have new priorities. Even though we might not be close enough to be considered “friends”, saying goodbye is never easy. I just got to know you and start to like you and now you are gone. Whatever we say, “keep in touch, don’t be a stranger, etc…” in reality we hardly ever reach out. We have been relying on situation to enjoy each other’s company but once that specific enabling factor is taken away, we immediately drift apart. They say people come into your life for a reason, for a season or for a lifetime. Friendship can’t be forced. Sometimes, we can just admire someone from a distance. Still, I wish some people who were in my life for a season would one day come back for another.
