Friendships are very different than romantic relationships, and can change overtime through different seasons of life. Some are rooted in childhood, but then in adulthood, sometimes you find you outgrow those relationships. Also, during the transitional and transformative years of early adulthood when you are finding out who you are, friendships are highly susceptible to change as well. There are also people that stick with you over the years and know who you are, despite external factors. I have gone through many challenges in life that made it hard for me to connect with my peers, and I ended up losing a lot of friendships I thought were very secure. This enabled me to have a different perspective of relationships and discover more meaningful connections with people. However long or deep your friendship is, they are valued connections that are a big part of our lives and an important foundation in our social well-being and support network, I would love to talk out your experiences.
