Hey; it's about time we clear the air and make the end of this friendship final. There's honestly no point in pretending everything is fine between us.
Ironically enough though, this letter is going to thank you for a few things. Go figure - you guys cut me off, and I still have positive remarks about you all. However, this will more than likely be the last time I speak to you and even think about any of you. I refuse to waste any more energy on people who can't even give me the time of day.
So let's get this over with. First off, I want to thank you for breaking through my writer's block. Without you, this article would not exist and I would still be struggling to write something. So, I mean, I guess you managed to do one nice thing before bidding me adieu. Granted, your "kind deed" was cutting me of and basically throwing me to the side a mere days after graduation.
That being said, I also want to thank you for showing me exactly what kind of people I don't need in my life. True, it's taken me a while to accept this; I think I was too busy hoping you guys would actually take the time to remember my existence. But I finally realized that people who complained I “always had school stuff” or “always had work” weren’t really going to do anything besides damage my work ethic and prevent me from reaching success.
You know what though? I have to ask: did you guys even realize what you were doing? Did you ever look around your bonfires, restaurant dinner tables, and beach spot, and notice no one had even asked me to join you? Was my lack of presence ever noted? Maybe you thought I would never even find out. But, when you all post it all over your Snapchats, Instagrams, and Facebooks, it's kind of hard to ignore the fact I'm getting neglected over and over again.
And sure, I could've tried to be petty and thrown my own get-togethers and post photos everywhere. Except I can't. You were the only people in a long time willing, and wanting, to hang out with me. I don't have anyone to replace you with; I could have never even imagined replacing you would be something I'd need to consider. Clearly, though, replacing me was no issue.
Had this not been going on for weeks now, I might've been able to forgive you all. But there was never any apology or even basic attempts to mention plans to me. You guys got me to trust you and get close to you, and then you just left.
So do me one last favor: stop hiding behind childish silence. At least have the courage to tell me why you did it.
Sincerely,
Someone who's better off without you
