My best friend is moving
My best friend of nine years, Marcus, is going off to med school in a few weeks. Don't get me wrong, I'm really proud of him for making it to med school in the first place. But he's moving to New York, and that's over 600 miles from here.
We hardly ever got to see each other when he lived only an hour away from me, so what's it going to be like now? And I know that as time goes on, the distance between us will probably take a bigger and bigger toll. Especially when he starts residency and, later, (God forbid) a family.
So this feels like the end of an era. We were superclose for almost a decade, but I have a really bad feeling about this. I don't want him to move to New York! I want him to stay here! But I'm not putting up too much of a fight, because even though I'll miss him like crazy, I do want him to get a great education. After all, if he's going to be tinkering with people's brains during neurosurgery, then he's gonna need it.
But I DON'T WANT HIM TO MOVE TO NYC! Too far away!
Okay, I guess I'll stop complaining now. But I am NOT happy. I feel bad, because I guess I should be happy, but I'm not. Things'll never be as good from now on.

Meridith, at least with the Internet you can still keep in touch. I wouldn't worry too much, its been my life experience that as one door closes another one always opens.

Thanks :)
Thanks for your encouragement. Unfortunately, I just don't see HOW he'll have time to get online and talk to me now that he's going to have so much to deal with. And if/when he starts his own family, our time together will be almost zero. It's the end of a nine year era, and it's so hard to accept. But you're right, and I hope that another window will open...and soon, lol.
There should always be time
There should always be time for a friend, even a few words a week.

True
Yeah, that's true. But we were superclose, and we got used to talking for hours every day. Pathetic, huh? LOL So even though I know that he won't disappear from my life, it's obvious that we're not going to be as close as we have been for the past nine years and it's just hard to let go of what we have now and...well...downgrade.
Of course if you think
Of course if you think positively, imagine what the upgrade could be?
