“Some #friendships should die as we change and grow. I’m not meant to maintain every connection forever, while the guilt of letting relationships fade is often less painful than the slow suffocation of maintaining them.”
“[Real friendship] can handle the messiness of people who sometimes don’t text back, or disappear for weeks, or show up unexpectedly on a Wednesday with chai and nowhere particular to be.”
