Distance-decay Function is the rate at which a particular activity or process diminishes with increasing distance.

this was one term and definition discussed by my professor in geog1. this how the function works: when you are at a certain place, you tend to use or connect and interact with the things and people around you. my professor said that this is the reason why most long-distance relationships don't work. and she also said that there are some exceptions to the rules why few l-d relationships work, like true and over-flowing love for each other.

and while we were discussing this a thought came into my mind, maybe it is also applicable to me. i suddenly remembered my high school friends that happened to attend schools far from mine. then questions came in next.

does our friendship diminishes also? is it already happening? does loss of constant communication a sign?

i felt bad and sad about it. how i wish i could talk to them right now and check out what's happening to them. i am a little bit afraid that they are having new lives without me in it. i am also afraid that when the next time i see them they are not them anymore. i am afraid of the "who are you??" and "what did you do to my friend?" thing, because i already like them on who they were when we first met or when we became friends. but of course i am only talking about full-personality changes; this is when a person became someone really far from who he/she was in a negative way.


so, to my friends, close friends, and closest friend: i miss you all. eventhough that sounds cheesy and mushy, i claim that it is from the true me. let us be an exception to the Distance-decay Function.

to my closest friend: i hope you would read this; i also hope that bff is still applicable to us and you would remain my closest friend. should i cry now?? :)) i know that you know that i am serious about all this...

ok that's enough for a serious post.
