TikToker @kieu4nh_ called the ghost trend a “sad part of growing up” as she looked back at all the friendships she left behind.

“Thank you for all the memories but I‘m ready to move on,” @whosdala wrote in a caption.

Beatrice Harrods took a different approach and drew on physical copies of her photos.

“People come and go, and you can only be grateful for the good times,” she wrote in the caption, adding in the comments section, “I’ve been crying for two days over this trend. What would you say to the people who disappeared from your life?”
