Definitely happens & as time passes so do those relationships as differences grow them apart.

Lol....I don't need outside validation of my change being good. Not hard for anyone to see the difference in me but it's not about what they see but how I feel inside....but that just bubbles out for those around me & those few I still stay in contact with who knew me from where I came from before to see. Kinda strange feeling to start life over at 54, 2100 miles away from anyone I knew but sometimes it can be the best way to do it too.
