I get what you mean. One of my best friends moved to Florida over the summer (I'm in New York) and when I talk to her it's like nothing's changed between us but I can see how we're both growing and changing. I drink, she smokes. I care about school and get good grades, she doesn't give a sh*t. I think things through, she's too reckless for her own good. It's sad :(
I hope you and your friend work things out in the future<3
