Outgrowing your friends...

If you’re into personal growth, you will at some point outgrow some or all of your friends. The sooner you can accept it, the easier it’ll be.
Your friends may object and ask you why you’re abandoning them, but there’s not much you can do.
They create their own reality, and if they choose to create the feeling of abandonment, it is up to them. It’s not a lot of fun, but they will get over it.
It can get lonely while you’re transitioning from one group of friends to another. You’ll wish that you could go back to the way things were.
Everything seems so much easier when you selectively pick out memories from the past. You might even try to go back for a while, but it won’t feel quite right.
The longer you try to resist your growth, the harder it’ll be to hang on. You will start feeling more and more disconnected from your current group of friends and drawn in another direction.
It’s not that you’re suddenly better than your friends. Look at it more as if you’re at the train station, jumping on trains going to different destinations.
As you keep growing you will literally move into another wavelength, which is why your connection to your friends is fading.
There’s always going to be that sense of obligation, of staying true to your friends, but you also have to stay true to yourself. Sometimes you just have to move on. Who knows, maybe you’ll meet up with some of your old friends down the road. <3
