What is the point of friendship? Do we seek others’ validation? Friends aren’t always there for you. Sometimes you have to keep secrets from your friends. Can’t tell them why you’re unhappy. Eventually friends will leave you. Move on with their lives. Can’t be burdened by your troubles.

to have various people around for your various needs, that’s the point. a lot of friends have to move on. you’ve got to move on sometimes. some friends change you, for better or worse. that remains with you no matter where they go. it’s a process of a lifetime. changing and being changed by the people around you. creating ripples that reach farther than you ever imagined. being rocked by another’s ripples. that’s the point. it’s a lovely process. remember life is very long. you will have many more friends. don’t fixate on your current ones if they’re not all nice.
friends are opportunities. they’re the most interesting learning opportunities you’ll ever have. make a variety of friends from all walks of life. they’ve all got some wisdom to offer.
I am lucky to have nice friends who care. But, I’m still sad. It takes too much effort to smile and tell them I’m fine every day. Sometimes I think I’d be better off without them. After all, they would never understand. Too sheltered and immature to understand. The real world hasn’t hit them yet. It seems like it never will. But who am I to say I know what the “real world” is?
to make hay while the sun shines. What is the point of alcohol? cannabis? tobacco? to be enjoyed for what they are; finite sources of pleasure. Their finite nature is part of what makes them scarce commodities
losing those we care about hurts, but it makes room for new people, and maybe for us to appreciate them better, take advantage of the benefits they offer for however long they will offer it.
Everyone leaves or dies, those are the two ways human relationships end, and I can’t say the pain is any less in either case.
