Life tends to do this, and you can't maintain them all. But I still have my 3 closest childhood friends in my thirties. We still hang out, drink beer, play games and help eachother out when stuff needs doing. So it's not impossible to keep it up!
I clearly remember one summer, I was 12 or 13, I was playing cards at the lake with my best friends on a sunny day and I thought: "How could this ever change? I bet we'll all be here when we'll be old, playing cards and messing around as we do today".
Now 20 years have passed, I lost contact with most of them. But with a couple we are still close friends, even if we chose very different paths. I really cherish those friendships, and if they survived for 20 years, I think they'll stay forever.
Problem is, now I'm battling with cancer, so I don't know if we'll be playing cards when we're old. I surely hope so. Or at least they can do it and have the memories of me with them, that still counts, right?
this could literaly have been taken the same night after the party was over. these kind of posts only make sense if you take it next to a tree, or with a few people still in the photo who have aged. OP drinks semen.
Moved countries at 6, then moved within the country at 13 or so, then moved countries again at 19 and moved 800km again at 20......what are those friends you speak of?
I grew up in a village and left my country (France) to build a life in Canada with my partner and our 3 months old daughter, knowing it was temporary for me. In the 10 years I spent there, I never took the time to rebuild the prime circle I had. Came back a month ago, alone, after a harsh divorce. Tonight, I'm celebrating my birthday with six of the closest friends I ever had and know I made the right choice coming back. Childhood friendships are for life, simply because children are often better judges of character than adults.
