Wrf... Just said goodbye to a group of very close friends. It's unlikely I'll see them again, though I made sure they know that I'll always be glad to see them if they feel up to it again.

I'm tied up with some unpleasant memories for them, and they haven't been able to erase that association, so they thought it best for their mental health to distance themselves from me.

It's sad, but I understand their decision and, well. I hope I'll see them again in the future. I'll miss them.
