The Changing Definition of Friendship

As we get older, the meaning of the word 'friendship' evolves and becomes more complex. What was once a close bond in childhood is now often used more casually and loosely. The superficiality of some friendships can be disheartening, as people may refer to others as friends when they barely know them. The word loses its depth and significance. This realization can be a difficult pill to swallow, especially when you expect genuine connections. However, it's a wake-up call to appreciate the true friendships you have and cherish the meaningful relationships that withstand the test of time.
