As we grow and go through life, there are inevitable changes that occur and, unfortunately, not everyone is able to stay for the whole journey. There are a host of reasons why friendships change, and it’s not always a specific incident or something someone has done wrong, sometimes life puts distance between two individuals who at one point were thick as thieves.
