Trigger : Instagram story of a friend saying "stories emphasize that life is an interconnected system"
If you see life from that point of view, life is billions of intricated stories influencing eachothers. Your life then never belongs to you as long as you care for people or that there's people caring for you. Your story influence their story which also influence other people's story, and on and on and on.... Therefore you cannot be free as long as people care for you, free will isn't real, those people influence your choices and decisions. To be free would mean to have no one close to you. And, isn't life about caring for people, helping them, interacting with the people you love, the persons you care about or the ones that care for you. When you're all alone, no one to care for you, no one to worry about you, aren't you dead? Isn't death about not being present in any one's mind, about being forgotten from everyone?
That's probably why some of us can't let go that easily people we see do errors we know won't be right for them, people we used to care so much for, to keep them alive, make sure they always mean something for someone. Life is a really complicated subject. Always keep an eye out for those people keeping an eye out for their friends, those who never let go. They sometimes do incredible things to make sure everything's alright.
I mean I don't see any other reasons except the love you can have for one as a human being and a friend.
Then what is friendship? Friendship, the real one, not the 2 months one, is all about caring for eachother at different levels. You can call "friends" people that will do everything they can for you and for who you'll do the same.
Multiple types of friendships exists. From my experience there is the "intimate" friendship, the "no contact" friendship and the "regular" friendship.
The "intimate" friendship is when you are really open about yourself and feelings to your counterpart.
The "no contact" one could be described as when both parties almost never talks but still are really close and fully trust eachother.
And the regular friendship is just a friendship in the common sense, frequent interactions and other stereotype of friendships.
However the "intimate" friendship is an extremely risky as you can easily get fucked by your counterpart. Be really careful with who you set that up as it engages your heart, mind and soul in one relationship. Intimate friendship seems to be easily broken at a young age and feels like being the source of so much insecurities on the current new generation as it easy to pretend to be friends over the internet.
However people that build friendship on the internet, most of the time are suffering from some kind of "social awkwardness" that, sometimes, no one is aware of. They invest their soul and heart in a relationship that will in the end be nothing. Thus inducing those insecurities about themselves and the capacity to trust people.
What most of us doesn't realize is that what happens on the internet is on the internet and most of the time never translate to real life. IRL friendships are way stronger that internet ones because they are real. They involve people seeing eachother, they involve feelings that can be seen "for real". They involve so much more than some words on a screen. Even though I understand that some people need those internet friends when they are young and that some friendships can be successful like I have some, you have to acquire the maturity to understand what really matters and what doesn't, what is worth fighting for and what isn't. A 6 months intimate friendship can be worth fighting for if it was true. However a 2 months one isn't.
But heh... 2am night thoughts be like...
