To All the Friends I Left Behind

It's nothing personal.

To All the Friends I Left Behind

To all the friends I left behind:

It's nothing personal. We just weren't good for each other any more.

Sometimes people are put in our lives to teach us a lesson or to get us through tough times. They aren't meant to be in our lives forever which is okay.

The hardest part about having a friend that wasn't meant forever though, is knowing when to let go. I'm sorry that I was the one that had to choose to let go.

While I will always cherish the times we had together and forever be grateful that you were put in my life, you just weren't positively contributing to my life anymore.

And while losing a friend is never easy, sometimes in order to continue to grow, you have to leave people in the past. But you should know that I'm so so thankful to have been given a chance to get to know you and I will always care about you.

Just because we had to go our seperate ways doesn't mean you won't always be a special person to me. You helped me grow and learn and you shaped me into who I am today. For that I am grateful.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
