i remembered a friend from 17 years ago
we were close in elementary but by middle school she isolated herself with the internet and online friends, while I don't blame her because of pandemic, it still hurt seeing her pick them over her friends that had been there since she was young. Last time I saw her was at our graduation, would've never guessed she moved cities and didn't tell us at all

Sometimes we outgrow friends and it doesn't even occur to us to say goodbye or that it even bothers the ones we leave behind.
