The friendships that survive months of silence and pick up exactly where they left off aren't casual. They're evidence that someone once knew you beneath the performance, and the connection lives at a layer that doesn't require maintenance because it was never built on the surface in the first place. - Silicon Canals

The hardest friendships to maintain aren't the ones with conflict. They're the ones where both people are growing but in different directions, and neither person is wrong, and there's no argument to have, just a slow widening that nobody caused and nobody can fix. - Silicon Canals
