When Friendship and Love Come to an End

Feelings have an expiration date

We all dream of true friendships and of loves that last until death, maybe even a little after. In any case, I don’t know how it is that neither friendships nor love lasts. Simply.

Even if you are the most loyal person on earth, even if you have the kindest and most loving heart, even if you are the most understanding person, that does not guarantee that those around you will be the same.

And you hope, you want it to be. You find justifications for all their deeds, even the worst, even the unforgivable. Until one day. Until you get tired. You are tired of forgiving, closing your eyes, letting go, and hoping that maybe you will see love, light, and passion in each other’s eyes again. That you will see each other.

You are tired of lying to yourself that love works wonders and you realize that feelings have an expiration date.

This is! What happens when you realize this? People react differently. The actions they take are different because they perceive situations differently. Some may see an end, while others see a new beginning, new chances, new possibilities, and new people.

The fact is that it is not worth clinging to the past, no matter how beautiful it
