I have this old college friend who’s always there for me in bad moments but I’m reconsidering our friendship due to some things that happened. First off, she’s a bit of a pessimistic sarcastic person and judges too fast. I realized our mentalities have changed overtime, because when we discuss we’re often debating which can be exhausting. However, we had the same career goals, and it seems like she wants to move in the city where I live to have better opps and have similar lifestyle as mine
