I think that for that to happen, many factors must come together, such as being close and always in contact, even if you don't see each other for a while. It becomes very difficult to maintain when both of you drift so far apart that you lose contact. Besides, after you settle down and start a family, it's not just you who has to be happy.

In my opinion, distance should not separate two friends. I had a good friend who we began to share when I was 12 years old, in high school. Then we took different paths. we lost contact. We had a very beautiful friendship as a teenager. We met again after I became a professional, we told each other what we needed to tell, since the separation. We were the same as teenagers again. Then I had to leave again, we separated. We hardly saw each other but when we did we were very happy, we told each other so many things.
After I returned from university, they sent me to so many places but our friendship was consolidated. She had her children and I had mine. Her children are my nephews and my son is her nephew.
It is a friendship of a lifetime. We are already older adults and when we manage to meet, we tell each other things as if we were eating sweets.
And I have also heard stories of friendships that have lasted over time.

I am very grateful!
