Sehnsucht

I had been waiting so long to run free, but that good-bye was harder than I ever imagined. I’ll never forget that boy. And how we won back our freedom together. Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002) dir. Kelly Asbury, Lorna Cook

The idea children make friends more easily than adults is a complete lie. Most children make friends easily because they’re forced to. If your mom shoved the neighbour’s daughter into your room like ‘Hi honey, this is Laura, she’s twenty-five and three months and likes Star Wars, just like you!’ and then forced you to spend nine hours a week with Laura with a Death Star Lego set and a buttload of snacks, the two of you would probably become friends.

In many ways, growing up means becoming your own mom. If you want to make new friends, you need to spend time with people you don’t know and try to connect with them by sharing hobbies, food, and possibly a shove or two - just like you did when you were a toddler. There’s nothing more to it.

I don't fully agree.

I think that when you are a child, or a teenager, you are more open to people, because you are more naive, optimistic and full of expectations, and also because you are still just a potential person, not a fully formed adult. So it's easier to bond with other potential people, with whom you share most part of your days while growing up. This creates a life lasting bond. Because you share with these people the part of your life when you become yourself.

While I was in high school there was this teacher that once told us that the friendships you make before you turn 18 are rare and special and you won't experience that same bond later in life. I didn't believe her at that time, neither I fully understood what she meant, but now I get it and it is so true and sad.
