How some friendships last — and others don’t - Iseult Gillespie?

Friendships are like puzzle pieces, some fit perfectly and stay together forever, while others fall apart easily.

Imagine you and your friend both have a big bag of puzzle pieces. When you work together, you find the right shapes that match and click into place. That’s how strong friendships grow, with shared time, fun activities, and good communication.

But if one of you gets distracted by another game or forgets to play with the other, the pieces might not get matched up again. That’s when a friendship can feel like it's slipping away.

Just like puzzle pieces need to be used regularly, friendships need attention and care. If you and your friend both keep playing together, maybe every day after school or on the weekend, your friendship gets stronger.

But if one of you stops showing up, it's like only half the puzzle is being worked on. That can make a friendship feel lonely, even if it was once really fun. Friendships are like puzzle pieces, some fit perfectly and stay together forever, while others fall apart easily.
