I find that there are a lot of variables that determine how long friendships last. Career and family have a great deal of influence, causing people to move away or become more inward focused. Life stage exerts an influence, too: as I've grown and prospered, I've changed the nature of the people I spend time with.
Over the years, I have lived in many different places in Europe and Asia and even the East Coast. Gradually over time, I have fallen out of contact with many of the friends I had in those faraway places.
In recent years I have begun to reach out and connect with people whom I was previously close to whom I've fallen out of touch with. I find it's a genuine delight to reconnect and discover how they've fared. This is a real personal pleasure.
