My Bad

bad decisions in the name of friendship
naïve but well intentioned
lessons learnt the hard way

Congrats, Line. Yes, sometimes friendships don't come back from this kind of thing. I once had a friendship dissolve for NOTHING. (it was such a small thing and I could do nothing to retrieve it)

probably not worth retrieving ~ another 'nothing' would have happened eventually

As long as the lessons are learnt, and then shoved back in the teacher's face. Yeah.
