Friendships are one of the trickiest things to navigate I'm finding. And I really wish it wasn't so.
Why can't things be simple when you're a grownup? Why can't friendships be childish? I feel like some of my own friends I don't know very well, because I've grown up in a sense, and we're starting to forget.
Drama is one of the most friend-discouraging thing; especially so between a guy and a girl. Yes, I realize, there are rules when you grow up. Suddenly you find yourself a man, and a girl is suddenly a woman; no more room for being a child friend. Innocence can no longer exist; you either become close and find yourself in a wonderful and intimate relationship with them. Or you become the everlastingly bitter 'polite-friend'; who you occasionally talk to, share a rare thought, and easily forget.
Another reason to be jealous of innocent children; they have no clue what they have, and no care either; and a real friendship can actually exist between a boy and a girl without all the stigma and drama of the whole dang "boy-girl" thing.
And this is truly sad, it isn't fair, but life isn't fair, never has been fair. You can't have everything; you never know what you have until its gone.
I'm feeling blue, if you're reading this and can't tell; but that's my thoughts. If you're (by some miracle) a child reading this, hold onto your childhood; and keep a portion of it with you as you grow up.
