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.

Oh idk man it wasn’t really a break up in a sense that it was official but we just slowly drifted apart. I guess it was because we didn’t really have the same values and it was really hard for me to accept that. We both grew and the trajectory of our lives were so vastly different.
