I often wonder, why is maintaining friendships harder as we become adults. I am left to contemplate,
What if I never left the state?
What if I came home more often?
What if I called more?
But then I realize, friendship is more than talking everyday, it also resides in the ability to sit with memories created, the ability to accept the silence that comes as you grow older. Friendship is more than the hey or hellos, it's the space in our hearts where people fill.
The fragility of friendships especially at adulthood is something I'm yet to wrap my head round about. But then thank you for sharing these memories. The nostalgia was very loud and sober at the same time.
Friendship, just like everything else is not exempted from the impact of times and seasons.
My first piece on this app is closely related to this. I woke up one morning and thought about almost everyone I had know in my life and I wasn’t sure how I felt.
I had a best friend in secondary school, we were inseparable then. I still wonder how we separated to the extent that we only talk twice a month. That's life, though. People come and they go.
“Sometimes I wonder if those moments knew they would become memories.”
I can’t even explain what this piece stirred in me Dhimma..
This is so beautiful and it had me thinking about how we really lived out the innocence of our childhoods🥹
Someone please seize every child’s phone out there and send them out to play!
Thank you for reading, AM🫂🤍
Yes, send ‘em outttt there to play!!
This is beautiful. The transient nature of life and it's seasons is truly a bittersweet thing.
Thank you, Esther🫂🤍🤍

Adulthood really shows you just how fragile friendships can be, and honestly, I’m still trying to make sense of it too.

Honestly, I feel this so much ‘cause I had one too. It’s crazy how people who once knew every corner of your heart can become almost like strangers.
