Everyone talks about broken relationships but no one talks about broken friendships that can never be fixed. Yes, we had amazing bonding, we have beautiful memories. Maybe we can never be friends again, but I will always cherish those memories and miss them a lot.
It hurts to lose friends you once thought you'd grow old with. But sometimes, what you lose in companionship, you gain in self-respect. Not all friendships are forever, and learning to let go is how you make room for the right ones to flourish.
The older you get, the more you choose calm over conflict and distance over disrespect. Drama becomes intolerant to you, and your peace becomes your ultimate priority. You start surrounding yourself with people who are good for your mental health, heart and soul.
