Friends are ALWAYS there

Hello Readers!
I've just been talking to my friend Jack Marshall who I used to go to church with and we've been talking about how things used to be between us, how close we were and it got me thinking about friendship.
We have many friends in our lives who from time to time we think about and we're left with the thought of 'what happened?'

Moving up to Chesterfield, I lost contact with many of my friends from Weston Super Mare... we didn't have Facebook back then! But then quite a few years later, after all my friends had become a distant memory, Facebook came about! and I found them all on there and got back into contact with quite a few of them. Even after about 6 years of not being in contact, when I'd started to talk to them again, the friendship was right back to how it was 6 years before.
Katie Vowels and Emily Sims were two of my best friends from my first primary school in Weston and since I got back in contact with them, I've seen them twice when I've visited Weston and yeah, even though we're 3 hours apart, I can still talk to them when I need them.
Also Jade Newson was one of my friends from my second primary school in Weston and now that we're back in contact, we can talk about anything and everything with each other and we're really close friends!

Friendship fades and friendship is lost, but that doesn't mean that it can't reappear and be found again. If you miss someone then talk to them, maybe they miss you too but are too afraid that things between won't be the same as before? Several times I've been the one who's thought 'but we haven't spoken in a while and things used to be really good between us, maybe they won't go back to being the same' - I'm guessing you've felt like that before as well? But most of the time those thoughts are wrong and when I've spoken to that person again, things have been back to the way they were before.

There's a fine line between friends and enemies. One wrong thing said, one wrong doing, one betrayal of trust etc and the friendship can be broken but we can't hold grudges. If someone has been your best friend, they were your best friend for a reason and that means that if they betrayed you or did something to hurt you, they didn't do it on purpose and they'll be hurting as much as you are because they've lost you as well. We haven't got time to waste holding grudges and being upset/angry with our friends. Why waste that time when you could be laughing and talking to that person? Sort things out with them, you'll both feel much better.

Next time you think about one of your friends who you used to be close with, talk to them. Just go for it! Who knows what you might be missing if you don't. If you fell out with someone and haven't spoken to them for a while, just talk to them and if the subject of the argument comes up, sort it out otherwise you'll regret it.

That's all from me! Hope you've enjoyed another one of my rants and I hope I've given you something to think about x
