Failed Friendships

Friendships. Something that everyone has. From a young age we spend our life trying to make friends. We do so by talking to people, picking up hobbies. listening, school, interacting, jokes, and countless other things. Throughout our life we will lose most of the friendships we gain. But most of the losses feel more like a comma rather than a period. If your baseball buddy from 6 years ago asked you to come to a game randomly, you’d go. The friendship adds another chapter. But what about when a friendship does come to an end?

Most ends to friendships are never truly an end. Something happens and things go back to the way they were. We as humans want to make peace with each other. I don’t want to go through life with someone made at me. I don’t want to know that I hurt someone. That is why failed friendships hurt so bad. You have to think about all of the good memories you had with some one, and then quickly remember that they are no longer your friend.

This is something that is common for everyone. Usually everyone only has one or two of these failed friendships, but we all do. Maybe it can easily be fixed with a simply apology, or just listening and figuring out what the problem was. Maybe things can’t be fixed, but we should definitely try to at least find a peaceful ground. Maybe just be an acquittance. But if you thought of anyone while reading this, reach out to them. Make sure that you don’t live with the regret of never making amends. Not everything can be fixed, but things can be settled. We should never hate a former friend.
