Anyone ever experienced a friendship breakup? 👇
I still remember the words like a sting; a definitive, final statement after a months-long steady drip feed of cancelled plans and unanswered text messages. We'd met at school – both latecomers to the class, me arriving from Liverpool in Year 8, her arriving from the considerably more exotic Melbourne in Year 9. Our meet-cute was fantastic: bonding over a love of The Cure after she heard me singing ‘The Lovecats’ under my breath on the way into art class.
Friendship has always, for me, felt like oxygen – the uncomplicated, boundary-less, life-giving love that sustains you among all the other more complex relationships in your life. But this was, it turned out, was to be the exception. Although we navigated the best part of a decade together – sleepovers, holidays, music festivals, G&T fuelled nights out, cup of tea fuelled nights in – ultimately we drifted apart in the final year of university.
