It's rarely intentional. When you're young, friendships are unique. Your best friends are always together and it's very time consuming. If you decide to be more ambitious, it means you are also deciding to be less present in your friend's lives. It may take months/years, but you drift apart. I've done this a few times in my life. I'm still friends with those people today, but it's the "text once in a while" kind of friendship. The kind of friendship where you talk about old memories more than create new ones. It just happens.
