It hurts differently when the people you called friends don’t even notice your absence. Not because they’re bad but because you were never essential to begin with.❤️‍🩹 . . . #sadquotespage #sadreality #loneliness #explorepage #trendingreels #fyp #relatable #sadfeelings #reelsinstagram

When someone says “best friends forever,” I just smile now.
3,874,995

When someone says “best friends forever,” I just smile now. I used to believe in that too..back when I was a teenager and “forever” felt real. But as the years passed, the people I thought would always be there slowly drifted away... I don’t even know what’s happening in their lives anymore and probably they don’t know mine. So many temporary people came and left..some quietly, some leaving behind wounds that never really healed. It’s strange how life teaches us that “forever” isn’t always about time, but about the impact someone leaves behind... . . . . . . . . . . . #adulthood #relatable #lifequotes #relatablereels #life #bestfriends #bestfriendturnedstranger #forever #forevernotexists
