What is a good people come and go quote?
"People come and go in your life, but the right ones will always stay." It is short, honest and comforting, which is why it is shared so often after a friendship fades.

Yes. Moves, new jobs, relationships and simply growing in different directions all change who is around you. Losing touch is a normal part of life, not proof that you did something wrong.

Let yourself feel the loss, keep the good memories, and put your energy into the people who are still here. As one quote puts it, the people who leave are just showing you the importance of those who choose to stay.
