...I never said anything like asking her to stay against her will :v
Also, that 'thing'...doesn't really apply as a generality at all. It doesn't explain quite anything.
See the thing is when you become one of the older members your friends start to go away whether it be because they got a job or because they got hit by a car or whatever, and while the new members come up to join the rank you just can't get yourself to like them. To you they are boring smartasses who would soon take your good memories of this place and tear it down.
And that is when you leave.
But it does state an observation. Something which is quite seemingly true, but mostly on the superficial level. Have you gotten to truly know those people, or just see the schism which they operate in?
Times are changing, yeah--values which people act upon somehow change too
that's a sad thing, but there are still people who aren't in that category you state here (or in the least, your viewpoint is narrowed that it misses out the totality of the people present.)
Though on what you said? I'd still remain and say its heartless if you apply it as a label to everyone on the internet. It's not like we're mirrors of ourselves in reality. On forgetting people: Pretty much if they're not valued by the person forgetting them, or they aren't impacts to your life.
But it'd be a sad day for me if I see everyone
just forgetting each other left and right. 'It's not like people matter'.
