This is so honest and beautifully written.

But I’ve also realized that sometimes the guard we put up to protect ourselves can keep us from experiencing the very thing we desire. Real friendship requires participation—being present, being open, being intentional. It takes two to tango, fr.

Because, the truth is still that you cannot do life alone. You need people— family? Yes. But friends too.

Sincerely, I have had friends that we talked a lot, but life just seperates us. However, I realized they never truly left, at least there's a piece of them in my soul. I hope they have a piece of me in their souls too.

Sometimes,I just think of them and reach out. I even called one on purpose and said it was a mistake. We stopped talking, but they never left my soul. So what if friendships fade physically, and not from our souls?

At the end, I am just starting to accept that, each friendship has it days, and some has its seasons, but I am yet to see one that lasts a lifetime.

Beautiful piece, and I love the poem.

I get that. But there should be a reason. Can you please DM me, telling me about your background? If that's fine. Thank youuu!

Hmmm. I get that. But a good step forward is digging to find why the connections are superficial

Hmmm. Can you point to why you're uptight?
