Sometimes friends become not-friends and its not bc something bad happened or you had a falling out. Sometimes you just grow apart. Several of my friends have become not-friends but not bc they hurt me, we just had different life paths, stopped talking, etc.
its ok, its normal

Sometimes i think of these friends and hope theyre doing ok, wherever they are in their life.
Sometimes i see them online and i have a moment of ‘maybe i should reach out and say hi’ but i dont. Its ok.

On the other hand, though, there are friends who I havent talked to or dont talk to often but we still are as close as knit-thread!
I guess the point is, not every friend you have will stay, not every close friend is one you speak to every day.

Not every farewell has to hurt
