Is friendship forever?

I do believe in forever. Family for instance.. for sure our family will be undoubtedly will there for us forever. Friendship as well can be forever if what you have are true friends. Why I say this?...I have much and different circle of friends, lucky I am..they still stick with me. My childhood friends, though we're having own families still we have time to gather in some special occasions. We're not forgetting to send greetings to birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions. We've been friends since 1987 - 24 years to be exact and we're still going strong and did not end only upto ourselves, it has been extended to our families. Why setting an expiration? Friendship like other relationships have not been made, it has been invested, incurred interest, and soon benefitted us finding we could not let it go anymore. Maybe sometimes like marriage, it will be in its toughest times, but it will surely be patched for we already valued each other. You probably not find your true friend yet, but for sure if you got him/her, you would not let that person out of your life anymore. As I always say "Friends is like blood, it sustains life but not always visible, but it comes out when we get wounded". And all of us needs blood to keep us alive.

I don't think that friendship are forever but the memories are always been there. It is part of the story of your life. If a friend went to other places and make her/his own family, she/he will not remember you anymore. With all the activities that they will have to do and enjoy doing. I don't think they will remember you as friend. They will remember you as your name but the essence of being a friend. I don't think so.

Hi there jacrosealbert!!! Well for me I don't think that a friendship has an expiration date.Based on my understanding of the word itself I think expiration means a time when you will decide to use something or throw away something old,a predetermined time that we set.As far as I know my friendship with other people doesn't have any expiration date. I don't think expiration date applies to friendship.I think it is better to ask if a friendship has an end and when does it end.Well for me a friendship ends when both of the person involve in this kind of relationship loses their trust to each other and when they feel that they couldn't be with each other any longer.

I say yes. Here is an example: when we were at school, we spent lots of time with certain people, and at that time, we believed friendship would last forever. However, after graduation, we stayed at different places, got married, had lots of other things to deal with and worry about, and gradually, we make new friends at work, and we lose contact with old friends. So, apprarently ,there is a time frame for friendship.

I may not be a friend to everyone, but I always share my love with everyone, and what I mean by that is that I always try to encourage and lead others in the right direction. That doesn't mean I count on anyone or expect anyone to be my friend forever, it just means that no matter what, I am willing to do more for others than I am willing to do for myself. I don't think all friendships last forever though. I recently gave up an old friend myself due to laziness, inability to grow up, and immaturity. We went to high school together, graduated together, and spent a few years after it together, but our friendship couldn't last, because I was having to pay for everything we went out and did, and if I didn't pay for something, he sat behind his PC or XBOX all day playing video games. Needless to say, I went on to college and got a job, and guess what? He's still sitting where he was 2 years ago. At home with mom and dad, and he still can't grow up. In conclusion, friendships may or may not last. Just keep in mind that some people change, some people don't, so you never know.
