School sucks obviously, but I miss when simply knowing someone in science class made them a friend. Didnt need deep complex understand in relationships, just needed people to tell me my ideas for new sandwiches were good. Looking back I considered almost everyone I went to school with a friend even if the sentiment wasn’t shared. Adulthood made casual relationships almosy impossible, near strangers can’t be my friend anymore :(

oh my goodness THIS!! I miss this aspect so much. The small forced community and how we all mostly respected each other and saw each other all the time. You got to know people for better or worse fr.

I always found it hard to keep in contact with people since I'm not the best texter. Plus, I usualy felt like a floater friend, like I just wasn't in the loop cause people liked others more. Of course, growing apart is nothing bad and if they were truly like that, than it's better that I'm no longer friends with them. However, I got in contact with someone I hadn't spoken with for a long time and it was great. Life gets busy and a lot of people are full in their head from everything. It's not always cause they never think of you (anymore) or don't value your friendship.

i know they can understand me on a different level & it makes them so much more approachable. if we share developmental lore i can feel way more comfortable with them. sometimes you just know that you would have been great friends with someone if you'd both met earlier in your timelines, and that endears me to someone a lot.

my high school/early college gf is one of my best friends and will be forever. we had a wonderful friendship before we dated and after taking some time of no contact built back an even stronger platonic bond. especially since we were close during such formative years it’s been so rewarding to grow together - out of one form of connection and into so many others❣️ my other serious ex I may never speak to again before I die.
