"As you continue on your path, you will lose some friends and gain new ones. The process is painful... but often necessary. They will change. And you will change. Because life is change. From time to time, they must find their own way. And that way may not be yours. Enjoy them for what they are. And remember them for what they were."
Anyone who has heard this before, who knows where I have quoted this from -- they are blessed with a good story. Penetrating insights often come from remarkably strange places.
Good night. :)
