Dear J:

I think it is about how you define “friendship.” Someone who is not a total stranger? Someone you used to have fun with? What is a friend? I think the definition changes with one’s level of maturity… evolution is the word I use. Once you define what “friendship” and a “friend” is for YOU,in the PRESENT, then you got it. What was friendship and who was a friend in the past, if you matured and evolved (at any age) is not going to be friendship/ friend now (unless the friend matured and evolved along similar lines).

I have become very selective over time. My definition has dramatically changed. If you would like, define friendship and friend as it is true for you now.
