The idea of spending your entire life in the same place has gradually become a thing of the past. People move for work, to find love, or simply to change things up a bit. All of this is fine until your own best friend decides to leave. Heartbreaking as this may be, you will have to find a way to stay in touch. Luckily, today, technology allows us to share secrets, learn the latest news, give and receive gifts on special dates - even if someone is moving to a different continent. If you're not particularly good at remembering dates, you can always set up a reminder for your best friend's birthday.

In addition to chatting and catching up every once in awhile, another great way to stay connected with your best friend is to play games. Finding an app that you both enjoy and can access at any time - regardless of whether you're both online or not - can help your bond stay strong. Having fun with friends is an integral part of what holds you together. This remains true even if your closest companion is leaving for another city or even going abroad. Find the time to spice things up and your friendship will stay strong.

As convenient as keeping in touch online can be, you will soon start to miss all the activities you can only do when you're actually together. This is a void that only new friends can fill. Going together to a football game or an art exhibition will always be more fun with someone to share your thoughts with. Forming new personal friendships doesn't have to be too difficult. Today, you can easily find new buddies based on shared interests and love for certain activities. The Internet can help you stay in touch with life-long friends and also make some new ones. Take advantage of it.
