friends are not people to drop once you get a boyfriend or girlfriend.
friends are not a phase of childhood that you grow out of once you become an “adult” due to having a romantic relationship.
friends are not empty vessels for you to dump your romantic problems onto.
cultivate your friendships. hold onto them. love them. because if what you have with your partner doesn’t work out, you may not find those friends to go back to.
additionally, be wary of “partners” who are eager to separate you from your friends. be wary of “friends” who are eager to separate you from other friends. toxic people will try to bulldoze your support system until there’s nothing left. be cautious!! friendship is beautiful and precious and not to be taken lightly!!
