I Lost a Friendship

We are from the same city and happened to move to the same new city to study. I know she probably wanted to start over and that made her reject our old town and our old friend group a little bit. I feel like that, even though at times she does seem to want me as a friend, I am part of the past. She didn't want to have a birthday party back there anymore, but I also wasn't invited to her party over here. I don't understand. She still often treats me like a friend, but I also feel like she would not have kept in touch with me had we not moved to the same city. She just can't ignore me because I am here, or something. I am her friend, but I have to stay in her past and may not intervene with her present.

We all have a similar history with friends growing up. Then don't make it mean more than that, that is try not to read into more than friends growing apart and leading a new life.
Then know you both did learn from one another, she has her life drama and you have yours.
In time you will connect with new interests and new friends.
You will see the patterns begin, with family and friends.
The constant of life is change, then be ready for allot more to come.
Then build up your self worth, this is your anchor in life.
To know and to love all that is you.
