We all have some but for a more maturity reason, how do we maintain and keep a good lasting relationship? It's hard to keep a friend and it's hurting when you don't receive the same feeling. I know you know what I'm talking. It's hard when you're existence as a friend is just taken for granted especially when everything is in good condition. Distance. It's actually the most common problem one encounters, may it be from love or from a mere friendship especially in teenage years.
