Branches or Leaves?

"As we grow older we grow apart ... are you the Branches or the leaves?"


I don't know if that is quoted or not by anyone but I feel that way sometimes.
you know as we grow older, we change... you know, mentally, physically, even emotionally.
Things dawn on us. Sometimes I think to myself "Why was I even associated with them." or think other things. "If I were not their friend would I be different; did they hold me back." , Back in the day I wouldn't say more than two words to another individual, I usually let them speak && I listened. but today ... I'm wide open. loud, outgoing, and really goofy.

In every aspect in living this thing we call "Life" we meet knew people.. we learn knew things.. both from these people and by ourselves as well as ABOUT ourselves. Life to me, I would consider to be one big lesson. ya know. =/ Not saying that I regret anything. "We Live & We Learn". But back to the words ".. Are you the branches or the Leaves?" . I ask that because so many people claim that they are my "Friend", yet when I am in need they are "NO WHERE" to be found, and I do not get upset. I simply take a step back & say to myself. "The Leaves wilt & die in order for new ones to come along, although the branches are there through thick & thin." and I'm not saying this about ANYBODY in particular but its something on my mind. =/
