Friendships are established, usually, when two people share something in common – whether that’s liking the same band or being in the same class. How long a friendship lasts is unpredictable. It could be years, months, a few days, anything. But I can tell you right now that no friendship ends because the two people “grow apart.”<\/p>\n
To me, that’s bull shit.<\/p>\n
Friendships end over disagreements. Friendships end over betrayal. Friendships end because of entitlement.<\/p>\n
You could have just ended one because you realized she’s a bitch.<\/p>\n
Listen, I’ve been in the same relationship for almost five years now. Although we have so many things in common, there are a lot of elements that set us apart:<\/p>\n
He went to public school.<\/p>\n
I went to a private art school.<\/p>\n
After graduation, he got a full time job.<\/p>\n
After I graduated, I went to a university.<\/p>\n
Our relationship has always been long distant – during the school year – since day one.<\/p>\n
If you have a\u00a0strong\u00a0<\/strong>relationship, whether that’s a platonic or intimate, the difference in age or hobbies does not matter. What matters is how you treat each other.<\/p>\n Most relationships end the same way they began. For example, you fall in love with some guy because he makes a good living and can get you whatever you want. Years later, you break up because he’s never around.<\/p>\n Bam.<\/p>\n You got together because he had a wonderful work ethic. You broke up because he had a wonderful work ethic.<\/p>\n If you ever confront someone about a falling out they had and they answer with: “Oh, we grew apart,” they are lying to you.<\/p>\n Someone probably got too stuck-up and rubbed the other one the wrong way. A few cases of lying and cheating might have occurred. Or maybe, the friend was just a bitch. Who knows?<\/p>\n When it comes to maintaining a friendship, it’s really fuckin’ easy. Because there’s this thing called Facebook! Haven’t seen someone in a while and want to hang out? Send them a message. Or better yet, call them!<\/p>\n The last thing you should do when talking to someone you haven’t seen in a while is make empty promises.<\/p>\n Don’t say “I want to see you again,” unless you mean it.<\/p>\n Don’t use phrases like “I miss you,” or “I love you.” Especially to someone you have not seen or even spoken to for well over a year. It’s unnecessary. You haven’t spoken to this person in a year! You haven’t even made an effort. You don’t love them. Stop that. You’re giving them the wrong impression. They want a friend, not someone who pops in once a while when it’s convenient for them.<\/p>\n No one grows apart.<\/p>\n
