Friends Dispersing

So throughout different periods of your life you have different friends. Gradually, as you go through time, some fade away, some you keep in better contact with, some it doesn't matter whether you only see them every couple of years - you're still friends. Its just the way it goes. But its still odd. All my uni friends are gradually dispersing throughout the country - I can no longer go back to Swansea and see everyone from uni, because many of them are scattered around the country. Some are still there, and its great to be able to see them. But everything just takes so much more organising now. And although I'm making some good friends and I have Mr B in my New Home, which is great, I still like seeing my uni friends. As well as spend time with my new friends. No matter who I'm spending time with, I wish I could see more of someone! I know, its a balance. And part of it is needing more patience when there are long gaps between seeing people. But given that every day I don't see Mr B, I miss him lots - lots more than other friends, then I tend to give him priority. And then I miss my uni friends. I know, I'm being silly. I saw a lot of uni friends at the weekend, so I can't complain. I think I just hope that we don't grow too distance. Facebook has recently taught me that a friend from year 7 / 8 in school got married a few weeks ago. I'd hate to find out over facebook that a close uni friend had got married in 5 years time.
