To the friends I've outgrown,

One of the biggest mistakes you can make in life is letting people stay in your life longer than they deserve.

There comes a time when you have to stop crossing oceans for people who won’t even jump puddles for you. Kicking you out of my life has eliminated so much negativity from my life. And I’m not saying you are a bad friend, it’s just you weren’t a good one to me.

Love yourself so much you recognize when someone doesn’t treat you right.

Friendship breakups are often harder than actual breakups. Although it may be difficult, everything always works out in the end. I don’t need negativity in my life. Friendship is about quality, not quantity. And as they say, loneliness is better than bad company.

Respect yourself enough to walk away from anyone or anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy.

Our friendship was really good in the beginning, but the good doesn’t always outweigh the bad. You can’t live a positive life by hanging with negative people. I’ve grown into a much happier person since I’ve no longer considered you a friend.

I am thankful for all the people that have been in my life --especially the difficult.

Thank you, seriously. You’ve shown me exactly how not to act and who not to be. Everyone in your life is either a blessing or a lesson, and you, my ex-friend, were definitely a lesson. I wish you the best. Although we will never be friends again, I hope you finally find happiness in your life.

Sincerely,

Me
