How difficult it is sometimes
to forgive
to forget
To prioritise
to have the same interests
how hard long distance is
and making space in our lives when things change
that it’s hard, and takes thought and effort to maintain
that sometimes, no one else gets it, why you’re friends with a person
and no one else has to
that there’s no template on how to know for sure when something’s wrong
that friends fall out of love too
that it’s easy to hold on to a relationship because of how long it’s been instead of how good it feels
that honesty, even in the kindest way, can feel harsh
that getting to know a new friend can feel exactly like falling in love
that milestones feel harder and easier at the same time - the I miss yous and I love you may fall out easier or require way more thought than in a romantic relationship
that the enemy of your friend is really sometimes your friend
that everything is more and less complicated than we imagine it to be
that for something so important, we should probably talk about it more
