There are many friends that will come into your life-some will gradually lose touch, some will be getting closer, and some you will actively choose not to be friends with. But your old friends seem to stick around, and no matter how near or far they are, they continue to be a part of your life.
From old friends we learn how much we grow. They encourage us to do better and even they force us to do better. We know that if we're happy with who we've become, they may play a role in that process.
The sense of freedom that comes with old friends is new friends failing to bring. You don't need to make a good impression with people who know you well. The youth is often filled with many playful moments and careless choices. There is a vivid recollection of difficult periods that you have been through.
With old friends, you realize true friendships are difficult to create, to cultivate, and to hold onto.
Old friends hold a mirror in front of us and allow us to see how far we've gone, and how far we still have to go to achieve our goals. Old friends remind us that the past is both good and bad, and that the future is something to look forward to. No matter how time goes by, when we're with our old friends, we will feel at home--where we can be stupid and happy with people who love us.
