Don't get me wrong; if I had a choice in the matter, I'd definitely keep up with them and how they're doing. But since I don't have that choice, I have to make the best of what I've got. And since they're my friends, they wouldn't want me to spend my life sitting around moping and worrying.
I still miss them sometimes, obviously, but well, like I said, they're my friends. They'd want me to be happy, so I kinda owe it to them to try and have as good of a life as I can, and to try and improve my life and the lives of the people who are still here. Most all of them have helped me learn something or grow as a person since I've been here; not taking those experiences to heart feels almost like betraying their memory. And I'm not gonna do that.
So... yeah, I'm no expert, and I definitely can't tell you how to live your life. But I will say this; if you give this place and the people here a chance, they might just surprise you. I know they surprised me.
