Bus Stop Friends

A learned teacher of life told me this the other day.



"Some people are like bus stops. You are friends while you wait. You chat. You look forward to seeing them. But when school is out, you don't see them any more or hear from them. They were probably there to teach you another of life's lessons, or to teach you something about yourself. Don't be discouraged, some friends are just bus stop friends."

I take courage in that statement, and yet I feel tragically sad. I don't like endings and I don't like confrontation. I don't like not being part of someone's life, even someone I am no longer friends with.
