As We Move Forward, Nobody Will Stay The Same

I used to love the words "friendship" and "best friend". For me they are a declaration of something serious, something that need a commitment of both parties, just like relationship. They were something cool to me.

I remembered when I was in high school, friends always said "we are best friends", of course during that time I didn't really know what does it mean. I only knew it means good friends that will last forever. And it felt good to have someone say it to you.

But now, as I grow up, I can't use this word so confidently anymore. I can't even use it to a friend that I had known since high school. I just can't. These words has evolved to something special, something that I can't use it anymore to describe my relationship with a friend. For me to use this word is like a confession to someone special. 

Now all my friends that I used to thought as "best friend" have changed into someone I barely know or maybe an acquaintance. They are no longer the person I know and vice versa. I know them in a different timeline in life. Although we are moving forward, we are certainly taking different paths. And I am literally grateful because we have crossed path, even if it just for a moment.

As we take a step heading towards a destination, we will change. And be sure that you choose to change to be a good one.
