I Don’t Have the Energy to Pretend We Friends - Funny Energy Statement T-Shirt
No More Pretending
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.
