It feels like the two have some similarities.
Friends in life cover a wide range, from childhood playmates and elementary school classmates to current classmates. Those who have had certain interactions among them can all be considered friends, right? But among childhood playmates and elementary school classmates, how many are still in regular contact, frequently meet, or often chat? Once a certain amount of time passes without meeting, a subtle sense of estrangement naturally arises. When it comes to inviting each other to hang out, people generally find reasons or excuses to decline because it's hard to imagine what topics could be discussed if they did meet. Even if they add each other on QQ, they generally won't reach out first, and any contact is usually just a few simple greetings, ending with interjections or emojis that don't really reflect their inner thoughts.
Are people really like this?
In such situations, most people probably comfort themselves with thoughts like, 'The past can only become memories…'
Today, I suddenly realized that connection and emotions between online friends aren't like this too? After long periods without contact, does it feel like something has grown between two people, like there's an invisible wall standing between them, which neither wants to break or tear down—a wall of the heart. Even if there's occasional contact, do conversations retain the same positivity and joy as before? Can time really dilute virtual friendships? Nobody can actually answer this question, probably because the internet has not even been widely developed for over a hundred years.
Therefore, we should cherish the friendships we have now. Whether ten years, twenty years, forty years, or even longer, if you can maintain them, you have succeeded. If not, then you can only sigh and say, 'The past can only be used for memories!'

Soaring, if you ever go into heat one day, you can come to me, I won't abandon you. By the way, has Black Horse contacted you? It feels like he's dead.

Soar, buddy, when you're lonely you can consider us friends, if you have setbacks in your feelings you can be a very enthusiastic listener, 7723, a very heartwarming little world!
