on friendship

okay, so this is going to sound a little somber, but this photo reminds me of some friendships. the ones where there are years of easy shared interests and temperaments, and then, one day, one of the two decides to go off in a new direction, and one person stays exactly who they have always been, and the effortless camaraderie is gone. personally, i am okay with this. not all friendships need to be lifelong friendships. some friends are perfect for the short and sweet time your lives commingled. these two vines were besties for at least two months–april and may. now one of them is heading off in a new direction. but they will always be bound by their shared history.
