This friendship day, I want to honour friendships that were left behind in the past. Those friendships that were supposed to be the forever. Ones where you both were supposed to live your life together, sharing every moment together, and being comfortable wearing pajamas in the bubble you made. This post is to honour friendships that were supposed to last till the end of time, but didn't.
This is probably the most difficult piece I have ever written, trying to express complex feelings swirling in my body, not stopping for a second, in words.
That feeling of meeting someone new and connecting and relating with them is a familiarly new feeling. Terming someone as a friend is the start of an exciting journey of sharing memories, places, movies, and pizzas. Every friendship is unique in its own way and has its perks and inside jokes and whatnot. Every friendship is a splash of emotions, fun, attachment, help, and people. Losing something like this is like losing a part of ourselves.
Losing a friend changes us in ways we didn't know we could change into. Knowing that we and our friend are not on the same page is a reality that can be very difficult to accept. Moving on from that beautiful friendship is a completely different and equally difficult hurdle. It makes one question the importance of bonds like these, and if they are even worth it. The end of a friendship does make one question such future bonds, and maybe even change their meaning.
Looking back, we want to cherish these beautiful memories we created at these specific moments with people who were special to us, but we can't help but also think of the times when we talked of the future like it was ours and our friend's and both of us would conquer it together. So we move on, trying not to think of the times where we had the craziest fun, and living our life in the present with our present, beautiful friendships.
So, this post is to honour the memories, the lessons, the fun, the times, the bond, the emotions that are associated with friendships that were left behind in the past as life moved forward and changed and evolved with every hurdle and every change. This friendship day, let's honour the friendships that were supposed to stand the tests of time, but were destroyed in the process.
