With the exception of your 2 or 3 lifelong best friends - friends are seasonal. Who cares and move on.

This is exactly how I see it. I've had people I have considered close friends and due to various circumstances like moving away, family commitments, turning bleeding heart liberal, becoming alcohol or drug dependent, etc. I've moved on from them.

At age 71 I'd say I have more casual acquaintances than what I consider long time friends. With the exception of 1 or 2 people from my 20's to 30's who I consider close friends, the rest are in the distant past----and I'm not fussed about it, and likely neither are they.
