It's an adventure.
Eventually there comes a point where you have to meet new people and it's scary and you're terrified and you don't know how to cope with it all. What do you say, what do you do, how come they're all so much cooler than you... It's an emotional rollercoaster.
But then, if you're lucky, it all falls into place and you get a new couple handshakes and hugs in the morning.
Going from primary school to primary school, I had to learn to make new friends real fast because otherwise I wouldn't survive. And losing my highschool friends to graduation meant I was going to this new place with new people and I wouldn't know anyone again, and I wouldn't be as close as I was to them.
Terrifying.
But on my first day I met two of the people I'd basically form my support network out of and as the years went on, I met my bandmates, I met a couple people I fell madly in love with, and the people who meant the most to me that drifted, their loss was suddenly not that bad.
And that's what they don't tell you, when you get to the other side and you've taken the hits... You figure that you flinched way more than you should. Sure, it's scary in the moment but you'll wonder years down the line what you were even so scared of.
Don't get me wrong, I do still miss them. But I also now know;
The friends worth missing are the ones you see again and its like time hasn't passed.
So don't worry, you'll find new friends, and you'll form new bonds, and the bonds that were meant to hold will stay strong, even if you don't see old friends that often.
To end on a cliche, it's not about how far we're apart, but about how close we keep to each other's hearts. Or something like that.
