Communication Breakdown

We talk about falling in love and falling out of love—or broken hearts. But there are other types of love out there, like family relationships and friendships. We rarely discuss the art of friendship, and we don’t think much about broken or tumultuous friendships because it’s easier to walk away from them in comparison to family and a romantic love. The song by Gnash, “I hate u, I love u,” and even though it’s mainly about a couple, it also touches the theme of friendship. Here’s part of what it says:

“Friends can break your heart too…Always missing people that I shouldn’t be missing
Sometimes you gotta burn some bridges just to create some distance
I know that I control my thoughts and I should stop reminiscing
But I learned from my dad that it’s good to have feelings
When love and trust are gone
I guess this is…
