Question #24: Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you?
I think it's worse when you lose touch with a friend near you. The reality is daily life gets in the way of staying in touch despite our (my!) best efforts. I find the the closer in proximity someone is to me, the harder it is for me to pick up the phone to make contact after a long while. I start to think-how did the time pass? Why did we lose touch? Don't we live right near each other?
If someone's far away, it seems less embarrassing to call up and say "long time - what's up?"
It doesn't make any sense but that's how it plays out in my little weird world.
What's worse for you?
