 Friendships That Change Over Time

By: Sachi Dixit

Friendships are a big part of our lives, especially during school. When we were

younger, we thought our friends would stay the same forever. We spend every day

with them, and can’t imagine life without them.

As time goes on, people change. Interests change, classes change, and sometimes

friends move away or grow apart. This can feel confusing or sad, especially when you

don’t know what went wrong.

Even though losing a friend can hurt a lot, I believe that all things happen for a

reason. Sometimes the reason is good, and other times it teaches us a meaningful

lesson. Some friends are meant to be in our lives for a certain period of time, not

forever, and when you see them occasionally, you realize that whatever happened was

just for the best. This doesn’t mean that the friendship was never real; they still help

us grow and learn important lessons.

In the end, changing friendships are a normal part of life. Making new friends might

be scary, but it gives us new chances to connect. Learning to accept change helps us

grow in unexpected ways.
