I watched The Mexican a few days ago which is why I remembered the quote....Julia asked the question not knowing the answer.......I don't think we do give up when we are truly in love.....there is always some hope in there. But yes....friendships fade and that's ok. It's hard for me to let go of people I love ....even when it's obviously needed. Sometimes people give up on us and that is hard stuff to deal with. As long as we don't give up on ourselves, there is hope. You will make new friends and hopefully they will be like you and not be the type who give up. (((Hugs)))
