The birth and death of friendships are as mysterious and unpredictable as waves washing up on the shore. We can't predict

we were both running on empty and didn’t have anything left to give. I finally
forgave myself and my friend for letting our relationship die, and I learned some valuable things in the process. Here are 6 tips for ending friendships gracefully.
