As some of you know (if you remember one thing I said in one thread a long time ago), I’m only 15. I’ve known him for 5 years, we had a band together (and the unrealistic dreams of stardom associated with it, although I have to say we were pretty good), and laughed about many an ex girlfriend together. He is moving to Texas on the 27th, and neither of us are rich enough to EVER visit eachother so it’s goodbye. Not expecting much sympathy because much worse it told about on this board all the time, not even really expecting any replies. I’m just letting people know something they don’t care about.
When I was 15, my best friend moved away. We had a band, too. That was in 1970. We’re still best friends. We email each other on almost a weekly basis, and we went on a road trip two summers ago. I’m not saying it will be like that with your friendship, but it isn’t an impossibility.
Yeah, these days at least it’s relatively easy to correspond. Unless one of you has zero computer access, there’s Facebook and Skype, plus texting if you have cell phones. It sucks when friends move, but it’s better these days than what it used to be and having to be pen pals and mail real letters.
Aw, that sucks. But never say never. If you keep in touch as mentioned above, a couple of years might go by, but one or the other of you will be able to save up some money for travel, and then you can visit.
In this world of air travel and such, even Texas isn’t that far away. Nor is the time when you’ll have money that you don’t have now. It’s tough now, and good friends are not that easy to find, but if you make a bit of effort you’ll be able to hold onto this friendship. It won’t be the same, but it can still be pretty good.
And now that I’ve said all the nice things - that really stinks. I’m sorry you guys have to do this.
Happened to me when I was 15 and it sucked. We had no e-mail then or anything. I wish we had.
She’s on my FB now and we talk a lot. She missed me, too.
Try to stay in touch with him. It’s so easy now.
That sucks. I’m sorry for you guys.
(I’m 37 and I’d be incredibly sad if my best friend moved away.)
I think we can all sympathize with you! Because of FaceBook, I was able to reconnect with my best little girlfriend from Kindergarten and First grade. We had been out of touch for over 3 decades. I got to see her again and meet her family last month. It was amazing…a little bittersweet. Anyway, you guys will find away to maintain. My two best friends live a four-hour drive and a 2-hour plane ride away and I manage to see them each at least once a year. Sure, it’s easier when you’re an adult… It wouldn’t surprise me if your parents got together and planned ways for you guys to visit each other during vacations and such.
I have friends and family far away that I talk to more often than to the ones that live nearby.
MANY an ex-girlfriend at age 15? Being in a band must have its rewards!
