Moving On

Moving On...These two words together are some of the two that I hate the most. I was talking to a friend earlier this week and we were discussing friends, both at college and home. When my friend said that you have to be willing to move on with the friendships from high school. After I have been able to think about it more I whole heartedly disagree. I ask why do we have to move on. Why do the best friends that we had in high school all of a sudden disapear into the distance when we arrive at college. I believe people say we need to "move on" because most people are too lazy to keep up these friendships. I am not saying do not branch out into new groups of friends. I AM saying take time and to call and check up on old friends. To not let the nights by the camp fire talking about the meaning of life to go to waist, do not let the days of cring on each others shoulders pass into memory, and do not forget the times when you can look across the room at your friend and start laughing becuase you both are thinking of the same thing. I heard this a couple of weeks ago about a professor that has made this pledge and I have decided that I am now going to also make the same pledge to all of the people that I know. That for as long as I live, if you ever need anything I will help you out in any way I possible can. The friends that you pick are your chosen family do not let them fade into your memory like what you had for breakfast 3 monday's ago.
