Essay Question

Please describe a friend breakup you have gone through. If you haven't gone through a friend breakup, please explain why you think you have never gone through a friend breakup. Outline a major friendship in your life and explain why it is successful.

I don't really breakup with people more like they've just drifted away. I used to have people close to me like during highschool then we just stopped talking as much and drifted away. The closest friends Ive ever had just kinda always were there. Even if I didn't talk to them for like a month if I texted them they would text back. (I don't need 500 empty words for this question ngl. Also I'm a Sagittarius maybe you should put other on the above question instead of I hate astrology)
