"Friendship is like a popsicle on two sticks, when the friendship breaks, so does the popsicle, making everything a mess"------Anonymous
Today I witnessed something kind of heartbreaking. It was two friends, who was friends for so long, get into a major argument that probably ended everything between them. I may not be correct because I am an outsider looking in, but from my point of view it seems as though it won't be the final argument, but it is the last thread that tied them together. It was probably over something as trivial as a rumor but it struck deep into both of their hearts and pitted them against one another. Now I'm not saying but I'm right, and I don't know exactly what is going one, and I possibly will never know, but I'm just saying that it's always upsetting to see two close friends end a friendship. To see them be in the same room and not acknowledge each other, or to see them arguing whether it's face-to-face or one the phone. Ever since I've known them, I always thought that they were the best of friends, doing everything together, always having fun with each other, never needing anyone else outside the four of them. But now, two of them are breaking it off and the other two are stuck in the middle. And this quote is perfect for the situation I'm describing because the conflict going on, their whole friendship is turning into a mess. It's just so sad because whenever I saw them before now, they were always laughing, joking and hanging out, doing what normal best friends do, but now I see them ignoring each other's entire being. And I can see the struggle of it, trying to ignore the person you've been friends with so long and you're both angry with one another. It breaks my heart because I know what they're going through because I've been through it before, probably everyone has, but my problem was solved and now we're still going strong with our friendship, even though she moved away. I just hope that the situation turns out okay, and that they can continue to be the best of friends and if it doesn't, I just hope they don't go off hating each other. So I'll end off with this quote:

Great quote. There is something very sad about the end of a friendship - almost like someone dying.
