There was a girl in school with whom I fought constantly. We competed for marks, leadership positions, and teachers' attention.
Years later, she sent me a wedding invitation on WhatsApp. I felt unexpectedly emotional. We had barely spoken since school, yet seeing her name on that card brought back an entire phase of life.
I attended the wedding. When she saw me, she laughed and said, "I invited you just to prove I found someone willing to tolerate me." Some relationships never become love, but they still remain strangely important.
