When I was a kid, I considered the kid in the neighbourhood who was my friend will be with me forever. We sat together & dreamed about how we'll buy houses close to each other & our kids will play together too. Weeks later, my family relocated. I don't even remember his face now.
In my first school, I made various friends. I talked with them, we enjoyed playing on the swings and made paper boats to watch them flow in the rain. We played pranks on the teachers. We threw banana peels in the corridor to see someone slip. I was happy.
Extremely happy that finally I have a group of people around with whom I will enjoy my whole life. "Our group will never break"
.
Even a treaty was signed where we did our rough signatures with pencils and crayons.

But, then some years later I graduated from primary school. I remember faces of 2–3 of those kids, just faded memories.
Secondary school was in the period when I was a new teenager. Being in that age, the new ideas of making a girlfriend & having a future with her popped up in mind. I was no different. Developed feelings for someone & for some days was a in a one sided relationship.


Admist this, some friends were made too. We went on various trips together. Even planned a tour to someday. Eventually, finished secondary & left the school. Most are now just social media friends, who occasionally like the pictures I post. I return the favour back.
Got into the university, made friends there too. Developed feelings for someone. My immature self, planned future with her. But, this phase then passed by too.
Now, I've formed a new friend circle yet again. Had my fair share of complicated friendships & relationships, the chats & calls at night.
But then, I realized something. You will too.

Just take a look back where you started. During the course of this journey, you met some people. You made friends. You dated someone. You developed crushes on a lot of people around. But honestly, how many of these people will be with you till the very end as you planned?
Ever thought about it ?
The harsh reality of life is that there is no such thing as "friends forever". The people around you are just the fellow human beings who somehow happened to meet you, and will be with you for a span of time. There will come a time when you will part eventually.
However hard you try. The friends who you consider to be the bff will soon be just names in your WhatsApp contact list. People change, and things happen. So you can't count on them being around forever.
Just appreciate what people are willing to give you, when they are giving it to you, and do your part. Be the best version of yourself as a friend.
But remember, in the long race the only BFF you've got is :
YOU !!
