There comes a point......
.....in your life when you realise-Who matters
Who never did
Who won't anymore
And who always will
So don't worry about people from your past-
There's a reason why they didn't make it into your future.

The internet puts a whole new meaning to the word 'Friend'.
I often think about all the people who have passed through my life, almost impossible to list all of them but most were considered 'Friends' at the time. The majority of them turned out to be just a 'sentence' in the book of life and we will never meet again - something that I never even considered the last time I saw them. Others got to be a 'Chapter' and now possibly receive a Christmas card, but it's still unlikely that our paths will cross again. And then there are the leading characters, who we hope will still be with us when the story ends, they have occupied many chapters and been constant companions throughout the story, sometimes it is they who have to write the ending of the story.

Yes, I agree. It's just a shame the knowledge only seeps through in your later years ...When I was a child my Gran always used the saying 'with the benefit of hindsight' in conversation with my Mother and I could never understand its meaning even after their patient explanations.
Of course, the day then comes when the understanding very neatly falls into place, again with the benefit of the aging process.
Had I knew then what I know now, a very different course would have been charted ...

Re: There comes a point......
I have an extremely small amount of friends offline in RL less than I can count on one hand..Ive known lots of people through the years but all have drifted away some by my choice others by theirs but they were still friends for a while...
Online I have similar very small circle of friends but online seems to come and go quicker than RL mind you I have met and had a lovely time with one internet friend so hoping that we remain friends for a good while...I dunno,I just go with the flow and hopefully my internet friends remain to chat for a good while yet..
