I've drifted apart from a lot of people over the years - moving country will do that to friendships. There are some people with whom I can just pick things up from where we left off, and some with whom the friendship is diminished. I don't really mind what my friendships turn into, as I kind of feel that friendships change and grow with you, and that you shouldn't try and force them. Then again, I've rarely wanted to continue in friendships when it's clear that they're not working.

The situation I'm writing about is entirely different.
