A person changes over the course of their life. You’re not the same person in high school as you were in college, nor are you the same person after you graduate, so on and so forth.

Some of those relationships can last your whole life. Most don’t. Most shouldn’t. Most people come into your life, stay exactly as long as they need to, before your paths in life naturally diverge. It’s just how life works. 

Facebook is reuniting people from all stages of life and I don’t think that’s necessarily a good thing. I’ve run into a lot of people from high school who’re disturbed at how I’ve changed in the past ten years. Our goals have changed, our lives have changed. In years past, we’d have just slowly drifted apart. 

Now we get daily reminders of how different we are now, and how the people we used to be are long gone.

What do you think?
