Distance makes the heart grow fonder...or does it?

In my life I've moved more times than I can remember and sometimes it was hard, other times not so much. Basically, I guess what determined the difficulty of the move was the relationships that I had built prior to moving. The last 2 moves I have had to make had the biggest/hardest effect on me, I think, since I moved from home when I was younger.  I think the last 2, and even more so the last one, have had such a profound effect on me simply because relationships I spent years building seemingly feel through the cracks.  Personally, I was always one who thought that true friendships and relationships stood the test of time and space, but, now I'm not so sure.  The last move(s) have called me to question whether I had true friendships or whether or not true friendships and relationships can stand the test.  Honestly, I can say that either I have the answer and I don't like it or I just don't have an answer at all...either way, I kinda feel like it is a lose-lose situation...
 
Anyway, lately, I've been doing a lot of thinking and trying to come to a conclusion about some serious decisions I am going to have to make soon(er or later)...in my thought process several cliches have come to mind of those there are just a couple that really kind of stand out to me...
 
The first being "distance makes the heart grow fonder"...this one I am not really sure about.  I guess like all things in life, it is more a matter of the person(s) that you are speaking of and your relationship with those people that makes that cliche either true or false.
 
The second of those is "if you let something (or someone) go and it comes back to you it is meant to be..."...this one...again I'm on the fence because it then becomes a question of how long do you wait to see if that thing or that person is going to come back to you and what do you do in the mean time? So yea....Idk how true or false that one is or can be.
 
Well, I guess that's all the rambling I will do for now...until next time...
