Am upset that my friendship with some of the people I've known for more than 5 years seems to have petered out. There've been a variety of reasons - change in location, change in interests - but largely - change in lifestyle, in character, in dreams. I want little of the stay-out-late and do-nothing life, with the accompanying complaining, reckless spending and meaningless, soulless activities - if they can even be called activities. I said this as much to one of my old friends last night. If this carries on, well, it's sayonara, thanks for everything.
