Friendship.

''I know that sometimes people believe that friendships are forever, but I believe that friendship is fleeting. Because, you change as a person, and if you change or the other person changes, they're not really the same person and so.. how can they really be the same friend? Part of friendship is also knowing and understanding when to leave. They probably have families, they have a significant other, they have other people they wanna hang out with and so, it's really important for you as a friend to respect their boundaries too. Friendship is not life. Friendship is PART of life. It's part of your personal development because as you make friends, you gain new perspectives, you gain new experiences, and you find different parts of you that you never discovered before. That doesn't mean that you can only discover that with only one person.'' - Michelle Phan

Funny how some people still possess the same mindset and perspective of who I am in character, and also as a person 3 years ago. I am no longer that Pearlie you once knew when we were 16, and I will never be able to go back to being that Pearlie. I am sorry, but I am not sorry.  

Time to move on, old friend.
