The document discusses advice about ending friendships. The advice is that if a friendship goes wrong, you should let time heal the issues rather than trying to force the friendship to continue. Like sand, if you squeeze it the sand will fall through your fingers, but if you let time pass without squeezing, the sand will stay in your hand. This advice helped the author get through a difficult time when she was arguing with her best friend; over time they forgave each other and the friendship was repaired.

Sometimes it’s very hard to accept that a really old and strong friendship can end. This can cause a lot of stress and overthinking in our lives, which aren’t good for us and no one wants them. The best piece of advice I have been given is that if something goes wrong in a friendship, then you need to let time do its job. You don’t have to hang tight to that friendship. If it’s over than you can’t change it just by yourself. It’s just like with sand. If you squeeze the sand in your hands, it will flow out. If you just hold the sand in your hand without squeezing it, it will stay. My grandmother gave me this helpful advice, when I was younger. It helped me trough a bad phase, when my best friend and I were arguing and fighting over a lot of silly things. We stopped talking that often, how we used to, for some time. Slowly but safely, everything become the same, and we have forgiven each other. I am so glad that it turned out this way, and I am so grateful for this advice.
