““That’s sad.” “What is?” “The loss of a friendship.” “Nah, that’s life. People come and go. Most of them are only in your life to get you somewhere. And what I mean by that is they are supposed to teach you lessons, and then you grow or learn something hard and you don’t make those mistakes again. And if you’re lucky, you have a handful of people who stick around because they’re supposed to. Those are the ones it’s sad to lose.””
