One disadvantage of being 40 is the insight into relationships, friendships, acquaintances and how those that we may enjoy at any one moment in our day to day lives will in almost every case inevitably fade; become distant memories and sometimes not even that.
We each go off to school, graduate, get married and start families, get our first jobs in a city far away. Meet other people. Eventually we loose touch. It happens. It will happen.
I look at the current friendships, relationships I’m involved in now and see all the potential for divergent futures, all the events to happen in all of the lives over the next 20 years. Just like the last 20.
These are not bad things; not even sad things. They just are. They will happen.
I’ve connected with so many new people and some from my past in on LJ and MySpace, through email, IM, other communities that I have a hope for the future that some of the connections, the relationships we have now can indeed withstand the tides of time.
