I know that many of those friends I've had in my childhood and youth have moved in different directions (I'm from the south and many of them are right -wing, conservative Christians). Due to face book, I see how different I am. I've lived in Ca. For most of my adult life and my true friends here are progressives, and into the same things I'm into spiritually (I don't necessarily care for the term "new age" but that's the best way to describe my beliefs). Its hard to continue friendships when there's nothing there but history.
