I was looking through hundreds of pictures I've gotten developed since high school and tons of memories started bombarding my head. I realized it's pretty insane how many people we meet and how many friendships we go through over time.
In my case I have noticed a pattern that goes something like this: I'll meet somebody while boozin' it up at a random party or bar, we'll click like long-lost identical twins, hang out a few times and have the best fucking times, then eventually it seems to fizzle and we lose contact. The first part makes sense because if I'm equipped with a bottle of JD I am everybodies friend, and I quite like it that way. But why is it so hard to keep long-term friendships? Does anybody else have this "issue"?
The same can be said for my relationships. I've never had a long-term boyfriend, but hell, I am not necessarily complaining because I have some intense flings. The pattern is similar: Get drunk, hit it off like soul mates, have sex, hang out inseparably 24/7 for a few weeks or months, then out of nowhere... stop talking.
What the fuck.
