Goldfarb, Anna "How to deal with a friendship 'quiet season'" The New York Times 9 September 2020 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/24/smarter-living/friendship-breakup-coronavirus.html
I feel like I have gotten more distant with people who were sort of my friend, that I only ever really talk to in class and sometimes view their insta stories, but I've gotten closer to my close friends and in a way, found out who my actual friends were. Even though I lost some friends, I think that the friends I still have are always down to call and text, and I feel like they are enough, so I don't really feel sad or lonely. In the article about friendship, it states that "Unlike family relationships, friendships are completely voluntary,"(Goldfarb). I haven't really been having a tough time maintaining my friendships, because even though we can't see each other face to face, we will always still have a connection.
There are a lot of things I haven't been able to do with my friends. Me and my best friend Abby, used to go to the village after school everyday and save up money for a bag of Takis. Now, can't do that anymore. I used to go biking with a friend named Siena around lake Mirimar. A couple weeks ago, we wanted to go biking so we had to wear masks (not when we were actually biking) and stay apart. It wasn't the same as it used to be, but it was still fun. We also got to play with her dog!
