Pile 3: spot on. He struggles with past life, his family's past, his present relationship and the electricity in our friendship. Said we should have lived together once we were 18. Found it sad there was so much pressure from our families to become someone we weren't. In the process of keeping our heads above water, we lost each other. I recognised his pain, I am the one who fives spiritually. His new girlfriend blocked me, he gave in, but I know it's haunting him.
