You are a young woman. You have a lot of time to acquire many friends. But the fact is, I have also lost friends, In the Vietnam War, I lost several friends who went into the United States Army along with me. We had all these crazy plans and along came death. I cherish those friends. Two of the friends are still alive; one in Texas and the other in Louisiana. Both ended up letting the war continue to destroy them.
You will be fine. Just be thankful your friend did not leave in death, or even with a bottle of pills or whiskey. You are obviously an amazing woman; the question is extremely deep, with a lot of feeling.

There is not excuse for not being able to make a quick phone call or a sms or an email. But sometimes friendships meet that dead end when you find yourselves not having anything else in common. I have a friend who only calls me when she wants something and now that i think of it i dont think i should call her a friend. On the other hand you dont have to call each other all the time evern every now and then is great.
Commonly friends drift apart because of differences

Friendships are like the sea. Sometimes they're turbulant and stormy, other times their calm, relaxing, enjoyable. You have small waves and larger waves that meet up with the sandy beach. Not always in the same pattern, not even in the same day, but eventually those specific sized waves meet up with the beach like an old friend that you haven't seen for a while.
Life happens. Because you don't always keep in touch on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis doesn't mean that your paths won't meet up again at some point and that your feelings of friendship are any less. After all, being a true friend is understanding that things happen in life and that when your thought of or needed you'll be there.

Life and different interests cause friends to lose touch. Probably having less in common after a while. I recently went to see a school chum of mine that I hadn't seen for thirty years and we were hard put to find things to talk about, even though we had been best friends in college and roommates at one point. But, on the other hand, I have nurse friends that I don't see from one year to the next, but when we get together, we chatter up a storm every time. So, I guess, it is losing that common thread that causes us to drift.

Not having a phone could well be an excellent excuse - there are still people without them.
besides, all friends don't drift apart. I still have friends I've had for 23 years now.

Change,
or perhaps they grow tired,
sometimes you think you have found
someone special & in a sudden they are gone ~
It would be different if you know why they leave,
then you could process the mistakes & try to
never make the same errors, then when they leave
without a word it makes you feel abondoned
& betrayed & broken hearted ~
my heart has more cracks than a scrimmage line ~
yet, it is my fault, my fault of trust ~

I've been through "friends" who I thought were my best friends and have made the conscious decision to end the friendships. I realized that some people just aren't real friends at all if they don't have your interests close to their heart and are too self absorbed to call you, than screw'em!! There are beautiful people in this world who will be your friend. Weed out the one's that aren't worth it. People drift apart for a reason.

No, there isn't. Unfortunately we live in a society where many relationships are considered expendable. They're given a lot more lip service than people actually pay attention to. Some people just think that you can be friends with someone without actually assuming any real obligations toward cultivating and strengthening your relationships.

People get married and have kids. Jobs also change your circle of friends. People move. Also, people change. Their interests aren't the same as they used to be. But I agree with you on the phone call. It doesn't take but a few minutes out of the day.

It does seem to be the case. I have had close friends to just part company with me. I was told that there are friends who just seem to outgrow one another. I believe this is true.
But you know; they are the ones who are losing out. As for you, just move on and meet friends who share the same values you obviously have. You are special; a new friend may be in the cards for you.
Good luck.
