*Stands close behind you, wary of anything jumping out at us*
And your homeworld. Did you have many friends?

@Legend Begins

A small inner circle. You know how it is, the way friend groups stray over time. But I have a couple.

What happened to the others? Mundane drifting of interests? Moving?

@Legend Begins

Yeah. People start families as they enter adulthood more often than not and then priorities shift. Before you know it, you've stopped hanging out. Life happens.

You’re supposed to be an optimist, but that’s just depressing.

Part of staying positive is not viewing negative things like that with resentment, if you can help it. It just is what it is.

@Magnanimity

Was it worth making those friends in the first place?

@Legend Begins

Why wouldn't it be? Things didn't end on bad terms, and we enjoyed each other's company while it lasted. Then we moved on, and just met new people that made us happy when our paths split.

I don’t know, maybe the loss in the end wasn’t made up for by the little victories along the way.

It helps when you don't see the end as a loss. It's just an end.

What about your new friends? Were they long-term?

Ranging from a couple years to since I was a kid.

@Magnanimity

And it looks like that inner circle will stick around a while?

@Legend Begins

I mean, probably? Hard to say with that kind of thing.

@Magnanimity

I wasn’t sure if that group felt different or something.

@Legend Begins

It undeniably does, but it's not like that's necessarily a downside either. Different is just different.

What about siblings?

@Legend Begins

I have a brother. He had just started his own law firm, but we made time to see each other when we could.

You know what they say about lawyers.
