It’s 2am, and you and your BFF have just arrived home after one of the craziest, fun-nest nights of your life. You pull on your PJs and, as you make tea and toast, giggle over the evening’s shenanigans. It’s hard to imagine you’ll ever be anything but tight. But then she gets a job in another town. At first you take turns travelling to spend every weekend together, but after a while this starts happening less and less. You meet a guy, she meets a guy and before you know it you haven’t caught up properly in six months. So, was the friendship not as solid as you thought it was? Not necessarily. You just need to be realistic.

Life is never static, especially when you are young. And with so much happening and changing, expecting your friendship to remain constant is unrealistic. Sometimes you’ll be super-tight; other times less so. The most important thing is to keep some kind of communication going – even if it’s just the odd SMS or message on Facebook – to let her know she’s in your thoughts. And don’t panic or read too much into it if time passes with no contact; she’s not going anywhere, and neither are you. |
