People are really fascinating, especially the way they interact. Since around seventh grade, it’s puzzled me, the concept of friendship. Like, when we’re young, we have friends because our parents decide that we should be friends because our parents are friends. But as we get older, sometimes, that is no longer enough. With personality changes and differing interests, what defines friendship? Now, the thing that most interests me, is that I have friends, really good friends, yet I still question what friendship is. Perhaps I have already found the answer, because are my friends still the ones from childhood? No, they are not, so perhaps I can rule out the time in which you have been friends. But on the other hand, if friendship is something commenced by something shared, then by that logic, my friends shouldn’t be my friends, because we have nothing in common. Furthermore, there is that whole saying of opposites attract, and so if that’s a quantifier for friendship or how it begins, then everything I know about friendship goes right out the window, and I’m right back to where I began, questioning: What is friendship? How does it begin? And if nothing changes, what makes it end?
