Episkey Got me thinking about something. She mentioned in a blog post about reconnecting with an old relationship, and this isn't the same thing at all, but I got to thinking about old friendships that sort of fizzled away. There's this friend I had in high school (dude friend) and we hung out all the time and were very good friends. He sort of disappeared after high school for a while after moving to Arizona with his mom, but moved back to be with his step dad after a few years. When we hung out... nothing was the same; our interests were wildly different. He still wanted to play games and still had that sort of bro mentality, and it just didn't do it for me anymore. Any of you have those sorts of experiences? Trying to be friends with your childhood friends after a long stretch between? It just felt weird and I feel bad about it, but it just wasn't the same at all.
