Best friends forever?

I have always found friendship to be one of the trickiest aspects of life.Friendship can be very fragile, without realizing it you can be treading on very thin ice.

How many people can say they have every friend they’ve ever made still? I think you would be very lucky to claim this, lucky and have a very busy social calendar .Friendships can break down for many reasons, neglect, life getting in the way or worst case scenario a horrendous falling out .I myself have experienced all forms of friendship decline .Ultimately we don’t need friends ,they provide us with companionship sure but when It comes down it it’s every man for himself and I have learned from bitter experience that no matter how much you may trust and have love for someone outside of your own family ,you never really know them fully .They will never be loyal to the end because at the end of the day you are replaceable Friendships are transient they change over time and circumstances ,if someone better comes along ,there no blood ties to stop them from ditching you all together.

Without delving deep into my own personal circumstances too far ,some time ago now I found myself what I call “friend guzumped’’ ,traded in because a better offer came in,replaced for a newer model .Its not like being dumped by a lover ,you can’t go out and replace them even for one night .It is raw and painful ,there is no immediate remedies.Friendships cultivated over years ,the hundreds of shared memories are not easily  forgotten.On the outside you may be seething with resentment for the former friend but deep down you long for the good times to return ,the times you laughed uncontrollably together ,the shared mistakes discussed at length, the feeling that someone else in the world understands you like no one else.

Years can pass by ,but they are never forgotten.They just become memories .
