14. Which is worse: when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you?
Definitely when you lose touch with a good friend right near you. One of my close friends moved to California at the end of my freshman year, and we hardly talk at all anymore. We called and chatted online in the beginning, but eventually we just stopped altogether. It’s sad, but expected. When you move across the country, it’s hard to stay close.
So you really have no excuse when they live right down the street. I mean, there are extenuating circumstances, but for the most part, if they’re a good friend, fix it and keep your relationship strong. I regret this happening to me in the past…I miss someone who lives three houses down from me so much that sometimes I can hardly stand to be awake.
