Fleeting Sunshine 08
Mica Herrin. 2025. The Alcazar of Sevilla, Spain.
Everyone talks about how hard it is to loose a lover, but no body ever talks about how hard it is to loose a close friend. Sure, we are familiar with the ache of waking up alone after becoming to another breath beside you. We know how hard it is to show up to family events solo after having a reliable plus one for a few occasions. We are prepared for doing cooking for one, shopping for one, and going out alone after going through a breakup, but no one prepares you for how hard it will be to have a falling out with a close friend. In every romantic relationship, a part of me holds back and clings to the realistic opinion that this might not last forever, but in friendships I really imagine us holding on forever. No matter who the man in the picture is, I always imagined knowing who my bridesmaids will be. I always thought I could count on my girl friends to have a girls night out occasionally or take a little weekend get away when needed. At the very least, I thought I could always count on them to pick up the phone when I needed a voice on the other end. But no one prepares you for how hard it is when the other end of the phone is silent, for when there are no more weekend get aways, or girls nights out. No one prepares you for the moment when you grow up and realize that you are really completely alone in this life.
