Thoughts on friendships
Relationships are tough…that’s no secret. It can be hard to maintain a friendship and it’s easy to say the wrong things. We’re human after all and no one knows what to say to people.
As I get closer to firmly reaching past my mid-20s, I remember the friends I’ve had in the past. I’ve had many best friends but I’ve lost many through time and stupidity. My childhood best friends are simple that. We stay in touch and see each other when we are back home but there’s no immediate connection anymore.
My school friends and I soon lost touch as we all went seperate ways. One of my old best friends from school emotionally bullied me all through school and I ended lose friends because of her — but children make mistakes. I wasn’t a perfect friend but I often tried to do the best that I can.
Towards the end of secondary school, I had gone through multiple best friends but finally found one that I thought would stand the test of time. Unfortunately, that relationship didn’t. We went to seperate universities and stopped telling each other the truth. We drifted apart and I later found out that she was nothing that I thought she was — but neither was I.
