About This Piece

The group photos kept happening, but the friendship behind them quietly stopped a while ago.

This phrase claims honesty as relief, honestly, pretending it's a friendship takes more energy than just naming what it is.

It's a claim made with depleted patience, for anyone who's done performing a friendship that isn't real.
