it can always break apart. just because some people may be extremely close, just like family, that bond can break over the smallest things. people start to resent each other over the smallest things. people start to become ugly and isolate someone from their life because of it. and i find it pretty cruel.
i wish he would just move on with his life and leave those people behind. it's nice the fact he still worries and cares for them, but he needs to let them go because obviously they don't want anything to do with him anymore. and he doesn't deserve that. so i hope he moves on and make better bonds. be around people who will accept him no matter what state he's in or what he's done. and i hope everyone else will just let the past go. and look on towards the future like he is.
