I played this game during COVID called diep.io a lot. It was nice. I made a lot of friends on there. Writing this now, it sounds extremely sad, but it was fun back then.
The problem comes when you and those friends inevitably separate. I think I'm just now realizing that it's near impossible to stay friends with someone without seeing them in person often. Because now, now that COVID has ended for a pretty long time and diep has fallen off and there's no more need to rely on online friends to stay sane, we stopped talking. Those friends and I simply grew apart. And that thought is sad.
What's more sad though is the realization that the same will happen for high school. And college. And work. Over and over again.
Some might use the phrase 'keeping in touch' as an excuse but at the end of the day, the extent of 'keeping in touch' is a light question like 'how's your life been' or 'happy birthday'. None of it is real. But, that's life. Cya later.
