Change in My life

Over time my opinion about friendship has changed. When I was younger I thought friendships last forever then I thought it didn't and now I think it does again. As I grew older I realized that even the strongest friendships come to an end. Sometimes life and other factors like moving house or moving schools is what causes the friendships to end. When I was growing up I had a couple of good friends but the fact that my family would move a lot it didn't make my friendships last long. When my family decided to move from Salinas to Oxnard is when I really thought friendships was just something temporarily. I lost all the friends I had and I was afraid to make new ones because I thought I would end up moving again and I would not have them around. And I was right! Even when we moved here in Oxnard we would still be moving houses and therefore I would be moving schools as well leaving me with no friends one again. I kept on making friends but I never really got real close to them because I knew something would come up and I would end up moving or they would end up moving. Finally when I started junior high my family got a home in El Rio and I knew we would be there for a long time. I made a best friend and we were really close. I thought we would be best friends for a long time but unfortunately we ended up going to different high schools and we grew apart. After that I really thought life would always be like that. Especially after high school, since I stopped talking to most of my friends. I only talk to a few of them now. Now that I'm in college I came to realize that there are some friendships that can last a life time. My best friend now is someone I know will be there for a long time and us moving will not affect our friendship. I know this because we are more independent now and we drive. So if either of us moved we will make time to see each other and hang out and talk.
