>>7023631OP here, I understand that feeling of fleeting friendship. I've had my fair share of friends who i will never talk to again, I've also had people who i refuse to become close to and then later regretted not doing so. I think the lesson here is that people are valuable and that you have to be unafraid of being hurt in order to truly experience companionship. and to value people and to learn to let go when life tells you to move on. I'm glad you told this story anon, and i hope you soon find more people who can fill your life with meaning.
