Dear Ex-Best Friend,
Growing up, I was very shy and I didn’t open up to new friends very easily. However, one day I recall, in the fourth grade I met the person I thought I would call my best friend for the rest of my life. It’s like I found the missing piece to the puzzle of my life when we met and I thought nothing would ever change our friendship. We clicked instantly and became inseparable. When we were being assigned to teams in gym class, even our P.E. teacher knew we were a package deal and there was no changing that. Never in a million years would I have thought our friendship would change and we would go from acting like sisters, to becoming strangers. However, I was wrong.
Sure we went on family vacations together, begged our parents to let us stay the night with each other, we even dressed like we were twins. I thought everything in our friendship was fine, I thought one day you would become my Maid of Honor, when it was time to have kids our children would have playdates, etc. But all of a sudden everything changed.
It was out of the blue that you turned against me. After years of being best friends, you abandoned me and kicked me to the curb. You no longer cared about our friendship or the endless memories we had together. You moved on and left me in the dust. But the worst thing about it? You never explained why you did what you did. You didn’t have a good reason you suddenly went bipolar and dropped our friendship. After everything we went through together, I deserved answers.
Day after day, I cried about your sudden betrayal to just walk away and never look back. I never understood why you did what you did. It took me a very long time to move past that and move on. Honestly, looking back it’s the best thing you could have done. Because now I have become my own person, a better person. You and I have gone down different paths in life and I’m okay with that because we wanted different lives. It has taken years for me to realize the friendship you and I had was unhealthy and brought out the worst qualities in each other. As much as I once considered you my best friend, I now am thankful for our separation. I do not wish anything bad upon you, honestly I hope you are happy with your life and that it is everything you ever wanted. But I have no desire to reconnect. I hope you can understand and move on as well. Best of luck in your future endeavors.
Sincerely,
Your Ex-Best Friend
