Growing apart from childhood friends from "summary" of It's Not Summer Without You by Jenny Han
Belly and Susannah had been best friends since they were kids, but things had changed. They used to spend every summer together at Cousins Beach, but this year was different. Susannah was off in California, living her life, while Belly was left behind in the empty beach house. It felt like they were on different paths now, heading in opposite directions. Belly missed the closeness they used to have, the late-night talks and shared secrets. They had grown up together, but now it seemed like they were growing apart. Susannah had new friends, a new life, and Belly felt left behind. She wondered if their friendship could ever be the same again, or if it was time to let go and move on. As Belly tried to navigate her own feelings of loss and loneliness, she realized that growing apart from childhood friends was a natural part of life. People change, they grow, they move on. It didn't mean that their friendship was any less important, but it was different now. It was bittersweet, a reminder of the passage of time and the inevitability of change. Belly couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for the way things used to be. She longed for the simplicity of childhood, when everything was easy and carefree. But life had a way of moving forward, whether she was ready for it or not. She had to come to terms with the fact that she and Susannah were no longer the same people they once were, and that was okay. In the end, Belly realized that growing apart from childhood friends was a part of growing up. It was a painful but necessary process, a rite of passage that everyone had to go through. She would always cherish the memories she had with Susannah, but she also had to accept that their friendship had changed. It was a lesson in letting go and moving forward, in accepting that people come in and out of our lives for a reason. And maybe, just maybe, they would find their way back to each other someday.
