Friendship.

Such a broad subject.

1. The state of being a friend; association as  friends
To value a person's friendship.

I think  friendship  is such a precious aspect of everyone's life to experience. It is important to have someone to talk to and occasionally  go out and have fun with!

However people  can find it hard to make friends, keep friendships and let friendships  go.

I found it hard to make friends when I was younger  because  I was such an introvert, didn't  like doing what the other children  "normally" did. I would prefer to stay at home and read a book then go to  the cinema.  I did have a few friends which  I saw out of schools but I realised a few  years  later they weren't  true "friends". From then on I made friends more wisely  and easier.

During uni I made friends so much easier I got on with everyone and talked to everyone. I don't know if I was trying to make up for lost years or trying to hard because I wanted to keep them but whatever the reason I enjoyed my uni life. Still staying friends with my old ones  making sure  I met them etc.

Now obviously  not  all friendship  last for various reasons. Majority probably because people fade apart at different  times of their life and they end for no one's fault, it just happens.
Other times it can happen because  of a massive argument between both sides which no one can fix or forgive.
Some  are one sided  which  leaves the other  person confused as to why it happened.

The reason  I have been  thinking about this is because  I have realised when friendships end  (and not on my part as in no major arguments etc) I can't  let go of it. No matter how much I try to ignore it all I feel  I have to try.  I think it is because I want closure, I would prefer someone  say to me  sorry don't want to be your  friend  rather than me text  and try and meet up with no reaction. Hopefully  as I grow this  fades  away and I can deal  with the end of friendships but I am such  a "hate change" person who knows.

Do you have any stories of friendships you want to share?
