Growing apart over the years

[VH]

Sometimes people grow apart. This is unfortunately natural, and sometimes necessary because sometimes people will never grow past certain hurdles while specific people are in their lives.

Loyalty allows them to grow back together once they have grown beyond the hurdle that the other person was hindering.

This is why forgiveness and unconditional love are so important.

I was hoping the words "unconditional love" would show up, but it appears
sometimes only one of two actually have it in its truest sense. Forgiveness or forgiving comes natural and readily for some, but can get tough at times of repetition over the same thing over and over again.

They ask why we hurt those we love the most? Repetition can make it very difficult to see through and find that love. When a person gets hurt for the same old thing often, how easy it is to build a wall around that said thing.
That, in itself, can cause growing apart. We often tire of forgiving the same old thing over and over again. The scars remain.

Too bad I was too lazy to post here earlier...

Personally, I drift away from people a lot. More or less because I move a lot and I find out who my true friends are once they stop communicating with me...

However, through an unconditional love that comes most often through family, I was able to re-establish a bond with my grandparents, whom of which I haven't personally spoken to in nearly 14 years (them and my parents... long story, none of anyone's business). Yet, because I've felt motivated to make up for lost time (they aren't dying from some disease yet, and they're fairly young for old people, so this isn't one of those "oh shit, they could be gone soon!"), and wrote letters to them, we've been able to open the lines of communication yet again.

So, I firmly believe that people, if they choose to, can remain close for as long as they wish. However, I won't deny that people change, and that change can often take people down a road that never converges again. Yet, if a bond is VERY important to you, I believe that you have enough drive and power to force that path to converge again.
