Key to forever friendship?

What a misleading title I have there.

Scrolled by a specific content in socmed saying that the lost of innocence of a person is one of the reasons why childhood friendships doesn't last.

I mean, you can't really just "maintain" your innocence just for your friends, cause that would mean you're meant for bigger things and that they don't deserve you. But do you really deserve bigger things if you tolerate comfortability over growth?

And although I totally agree with that idea, it got me thinking about BTS and GTS.

Having to live your childhood with amazing people really is a gift-a privilege almost. But as they say, the higher you fly the harder you fall.

To have friends in a very critical stage of your development is really helpful, knowing you have people that is going through the same phase as you-changing.

But, what happens when it defeats its purpose?

That we have met them to grow, to mature, to find who we really are?

What really happened to the countless of relationships scarred because of differences?

I say it's not meant to happen, but it's meant to happen.

This log is not to "seek" or to "find answers". But an obvious realization of adulting.

BTS' friendship really cemented on who they wanted to be. Their shared hardships, trials, and defeats. Them working their way to the top.

Now they're on the top. What's next?

I can only imagine the countless times the members asked their selves "Outside BTS, who am I?"

... Or maybe they never have really thought of it and it's just my insecure self speaking.😅

But judging from their decision to take a break as a group and focus individually, I say there's a higher chance I'm correct.

It's not hard to imagine a person questioning their achievements, if it was made in a stage with other people.

To me it is really necessary for them to find their selves individually so that they won't question their worth as a group.

It is human to need someone, but it is also human to want to feel pride in yourself.

So if the reason why friend groups separate is differences, does that mean one should be stagnant?

Definitely not. Technically you can, but not losing your innocence also mean not being subject to growth.

A group with weak members will not prosper, and a group that doesn't prosper is left to die.

So with all that being said, our personal growth is always hand-in-hand with our relationships with other people.

To destroy one is to kill all.

The real key to strong friendship is trust, communication, understanding, honesty, and affection.
