Why is it that whenever I start getting comfortable with people, they leave? I mean, for someone as socially hesitant as me, it takes a lot of determination and concentration to get to know someone. But then, it seems like as soon as someone becomes a really good friend, they're suddenly gone. As much as I try to keep in touch, not having them around makes keeping up with what's going on much more difficult. Then, even when I do see them again, they've become different people and I don't really know them anymore.
I could, of course, make new friends at that point, which I think is important to do anyway, but I tend to get even more hesitant with the thought that I'm going to keep starting over all the time anyway. By no means am I suggesting that I would trade the friends I have for something else, and I'm glad that my friends are finding their ways around the world, but somehow I wish being friends was easier to do.
Alas, I suppose all I can do is remember that true friends are forever friends no matter the distance between them... and work on making new friends, even though it has been my stated goal to get to know few people better, instead of lots of people hardly at all.
