Is It Normal to Outgrow People as You Get Older?

[Panky]

Absolutely yes. As I grew older, I became aware that certain friendships were founded on closeness. You may not live in the same place and still have a good relationship. When life changes, it's very possible that you go past certain things including relationships. And because of these changes, you simply see that some individuals can’t keep up with that path anymore. And it’s not about conflict, it’s how life evolve and events unfold.

When we grow up, let me say, when we are adults, life throws a lot of things at us and the funniest part? Most of us are not even prepared for those challenges, we never see it coming. I want to believe that it's one of the genuine aspects of growing up. It’s possible to care for people and yet move beyond that relationship just because you have some other things to deal with in life. I have left many relationships behind due to life responsibilities.

As we grow older, we often come across new things, meet new people and even develop interest in new things and pick up new hobbies, so it is completely normal to outgrow certain people, especially in situations where their goals don't aligne with yours.

Look, kiddo, you're tellin' me somethin' new? Life's gonna throw you curveballs, that's a given. I'm tellin' ya, nobody's ever really prepared, but that's what makes it interesting, capisce? You think you're gonna have all the answers when you're an adult? Fuhgeddaboudit, you'll be makin' it up as you go along just like the rest of us. So, what's your point, pal? You gonna give us some wisdom or what?
