Dear everyone that told me they would never leave me,

Time passes and part of me still believes maybe we can fix our broken relationship. Part of me still thinks maybe our relationship actually meant something to you, and it just took a little bit of time apart for you to realize how much you actually care. Part of me still believes we can get back to where we used to be. The reality is, we can't.

You hurt me. I put in all of my effort to make things work between us. I thought we had something valuable when I started to share information I rarely tell anyone. However, you proved to me how clueless I was to your scheme. You never truly cared. If you did, you wouldn't have just left.

Even you left me wondering what I did so wrong to make you leave, you helped me learn something. You made me realize I need to step back and reevaluate who I decide to put trust in. I used to trust everyone, but now I know when someone starts to distance themselves like you did, I should start to reconsider the relationship.

I've been hurt by so many people that by now it shouldn't bother me when people leave, but it does. I put my all into every relationship I have. Yes, I'll admit it, I make mistakes. Doesn't everyone make mistakes, though? It hurts to know that I'm the one who puts in all of the effort and it's neither appreciated or reciprocated. Sometimes I want to stop trying, but I know that there are better people for me out there than you.

I can't close off the world because people like you hurt me. So what am I going to do? Well, turns out I can live without you. I have found people who actually value their relationship with me, and respect me enough to let me know when they just need a little space.

So thank you for teaching me how to make better and more loyal friends. I hope you're satisfied with how things turned out between us.
