it really bums me out when my friends write each other off. friendships, like any meaningful relationship, require work; they aren't always easy, they aren't always convenient, and they aren't always fun. but that doesn't make them any less important and giving up on someone completely because you aren't getting along as well as you used to seems sad, petty, and frankly immature.
the solution to a broken friendship can often be as simple as putting yourself in the other person's shoes. the view from the other side may just make you stop and re-examine the half of the equation you've been ignoring - yourself. empathy goes a long way i think.
friendship makes live WORTH LIVING. and you don't give up on the people you love for nothing. ever.
