The story

Do you ever feel like really, really sad when thinking about your childhood friends? Like as if they were actually gone forever? Like gone gone? Because yeah, they're still here, i Guess. But I miss when they were small and their biggest Flex was a well taken care of cat. I miss when i was always at their house and we would play with mud and try to cook instead of doing homework. I miss when were together so much that people thought we were related and they didn't look at me with disgust. It really hurts to look back now, when i told them i was worried we were growing apart and realizing i was right. It wasn't even a sudden thing either. I could feel and see that my friends were slowly leaving me. And i know It was inevitable but i miss when they were small and nice and friendly and openly kind. I miss my friends. And It hurts to know that i'll never have that kind of connections again.

Hey there, I'm really sorry to hear about the pain you're feeling over your childhood friendships changing. It's tough when things evolve and people drift apart. Have you ever considered trying to reconnect with your old friends and see if there's a way to rebuild those connections, even if it might not be exactly the same as before? Sometimes reaching out and reminiscing about the good times can help bridge that gap.

Have you thought about giving it a go?
