At some point in your miserably blessed life, you realize which friends are worth keeping and which won’t even notice being forgotten. Sooner or later, you find out who’s worth getting affected over and who’s easily dealt with through numbness. But, when that time comes, much to your surprise, you discover that being affected goes hand in hand with going numb. Without PAIN, you have no reason to end your friendship. There’s no reason to shut off all your emotions towards someone until feeling everything all at once becomes too much to handle. That’s why it’s best to expect nothing… because no expectations means no disappointments.
