I ran into an old friend of mine the other day, and somehow it made me think about how much one is willing to invest in a friendship before one decides to cut ones losses. There is always harder to cut a friendship than a relationship somehow. With a relationship one realises that there is not much to it, one tell the former loved one, and both moves on with their life. Of course, it's never as easy as that, but at least there are some protocols to follow when one decides to end it. With a friendship there is no such things. One can hardly sit down and tell the other person that u have decided that it may be time to see other people, pat their hand and tell them it not them, it's u, cry a bt, give back the stuff they have in ur appartment, and move on. Of course, and oldie is just to not call them anymore, but somehow that seems a bit unfair and chicken. So, u don't call them anymore, but what do u do when they call u? Of course one can always be busy. But shouldn't one be able to have a clean break up?

Anyway, there are times when one realises that the output from a friendship do not justify the time and effort one invests in the said friendship, and it's time to move on. It's sad when that happens though, but in the long run it might be for the best.
