I love this post. The friendship winters and summers are beautifully written, and resonate with " no matter what I do to keep those lines running parallel. They can diverge forever."

Love the "My study of my friendship lines isn’t conclusive. I’m filled with regrets and lessons."

I've lost friends over the years, initially devastated, and over time became accepting of it. And yet, I never really sit to study and reflect on these. Maybe it's the fear of confronting these memories. I think it takes great courage to analyze these lines and thank you for this post to inspire us to reflect.
