Pinky promise

"Trying to keep old friends is like keeping old dolls. You never play with them, but it's just so hard to throw away."

I keep reading those 2 phrases.

I wonder how and why, would you drift apart from friends, and consider them old.

I remember I had many different friends till now. I know that my friendship with some of them wasn't strong. But what about the ones to whom I talked for hours. We barely say hello to each other. It's rather awkward to occasionally meet them walking in the area we used to hang out.

I wonder if they can be considered old dolls. I wonder if they were easy to throw away because I made new friends. I wonder if it will be the same.

but

Apart from that, I have 3 amazing best friends right now, that are rather new. But as well, I have an amazing friend, whom I know from kinder garden. It's quite amusing. We used to hate each other. Also I have this one friend, who was there for me, at least with a smile, a long period of time, 8 ears.

I must be a damn lucky person.

but

I promise I'll never treat any of my friends, like old dolls, no matter what.

It won't matter if we used to or if we're going to.

I can promise I will always find a way to keep in touch with my friends.

They really are priceless, apart from being utterly annoying and absurd at times.
