I'm getting a little tired of the people who write on my Facebook just to say "I miss you! When are you coming back?," completely ignore my attempts to start an actual conversation with them, and then write the exact same thing on my Facebook a couple months later. Is that better or worse than the people who promised to send me care packages and snail mail letters and then never so much as e-mail me? Is it impossible to keep friendships going over long distance? Lately my hope in that idea has taken a mighty hit ...
I've found that it's really hard, but while you lose touch with some friends, you end up connecting more with some unexpected ones. I've actually gotten a lot closer to a high school friend that I hadn't talked to in maybe 10 years, but now she's living in Jordan and we Skype on a regular basis. It's really nice. But yeah, I've been quite hurt that so many of my friends have kind of just dropped off the map.
