I've been best friends with A since high school. We were each other's first friends we made in high school. After high school we drifted apart, came back together, and now we are back to BFF status. We talk about moving out together. She lives on her own and I live with my parents. However, our plans on living on our own are different. She wants to move over 8 hours away to the big city, I want to stay the hometown girl. I feel as if she does decide to move to the big city, we will drift apart as we did after high school, and I feel that our friendship is on a countdown. I feel brokenhearted about this as she's been a terrific friend to me, and I don't know how to maintain the friendship when she is over 8 hours away. I suppose we can be pen pals, we can still talk on the phone, and I'm sure once I get a new car we can schedule visits and do fun stuff together every once it a while. It makes me sad to think that we may go our separate ways yet again and that our friendship feels like a countdown.
