That has happened to so many people I know now.

Yeah, I think this happens to everybody in some way, whether it is a friend or loved one

Hope this is valid; Thoughts are energy. Since I moved I had a new mindset that allowed me to stay positive. Whatever you think is what you get, thus thoughts have to be REAL BRAIN POWER. Like gravity, a positive vibe affects everyone around you and is universal. Use your energy to think positive and even if you face further obstacles in life, you will always treat them differently as opposed to falling prey to despair. This kind of thing really changed my perspective on life. It's a motivating thing to think about as you can motivate yourself to do anything you set as a goal and achieve it at the right time

I know that feeling all too well, lost some pretty good friends from back in the day

@The Dark Man: It is difficult to not attract losing things, despite you not even doing it deliberately. We all lose things precious to us but I think if we can take that principle of thinking what we wish for and think it and think it it'll come to us eventually. Think of it as typing something into google. If you type "Without klobb" for argument's sake what are you going to get? Millions of pages on the KLOBB! That is the same as hoping for NO trouble, without getting lost etc. Think positively and specifically and the universe will deliver to you on time every time.

I prefer doing rather than just thinking but being positive definitely helps anyway... i think it is only natural that people drift apart, friends you had in primary school tend to change when you get to high school, some go off the rails some just change. Sometimes it's good to get nostalgic about the good old days but luckily we tend to make new friends as we get older too!

Ditto. I moved to this town in mid 2010 and never felt so welcomed and I am still blown away by how much I feel like I belong
