I think we should stop romanticising the concept of forever in every other thing, especially (in any kind of) relationships and (including) friendships. Why if it's not forever it was never a thing? I was friends with xyz in school and I'm not their friend now. In school, we had different ways of looking at life, different crises, a different definition of fun, different life, I enjoyed being with the people I no longer like to hang out with because now we have different lives, different problems, different expectations, different kinds of fun and most importantly different sets of ideals, why should that mean we were never good friends? Or our friendship was never worth it? Why does the present have to validate the past? We need to learn to appreciate having different people in different phases of life. Having said that it's equally amazing to have relationships (of any kind) that last forever. I think we should avoid looking at certain concepts in opposite spectrums. Two
