The ones who stay, the ones who fade, and the ones who were never meant to last. Here, we explore the shifting nature of friendship—the party friends, the soul-deep connections, and the messy, beautiful in-betweens. It’s a reflection on how we’ve shown up for others, how they’ve shown up for us, and the lessons we carry from each bond. The truth is, not every friendship is meant to last forever, but every one shapes us in ways we sometimes only realize long after they’re gone.
