"Friends can break your heart too."

The simple art of friendship is something that I myself have often taken for granted but as the title of this post suggests friends can break your heart too. As much the same as everything in life as we grow the people around us grow and change and I feel the need to acknowledge that fact. My friendships from when I was younger are worlds apart from the current friendship group I have now. My younger self set out with the sheer belief that I would be friends with those particular individuals till the end of my life but that just isn't realistic. When I was 17/18 I feel as though I had the biggest shift in my friendship circle from having a big friendship group suddenly turned in to a select few. The friends I have now are the closest friends I've ever had and I don't feel as though I really found my group until I was 20. The purpose of this blog post is to say that it is more than okay to have to experience that time in friendships where the phrase "you've changed" gets exchanged because yes, yes I have changed from when we first became friends and you know what? I should hope I have, we change everyday and I think if we were the same person we were when one friendship began then we haven't developed at all.  As heart breaking as losing what was a once solid friendship is it is also okay to accept that a friendship at the time was everything, but if they can't accept you now then the friendship isn't worth it's existence to continue breaking both your hearts.
