“I’ve taken what seems like the right step at every point, even planned it out, why did I get so lost? I think I forgot my friends along the way were the point. What do I do now?”

Another soul answered...

If the choices were truly chosen with care then your forgetting was a fate and not a choice. I don't think we can reverse what we did. Because loss serves a lesson about your own limits and contradictions. But I also think that we should hope to make new connections while keeping the old lessons in heart.
