Let me start off by saying, we all lose a friend in life sooner or later and whether it's your best friend or just a close friend, you'll be okay.
Friendship breakups are hard, they aren't like breaking up with your boyfriend or girlfriend. It's losing someone that you told all your secrets to, spent nights with and loved like family. No one wants to lose someone who was there for them when their world was crashing down or for the happiest times of their lives, but it happens.
Losing a friend isn't always a bad thing, maybe it happened because they were weighing you down in all the wrong places, holding you back or treating you like you're less than you are. No matter the reason, it was probably a good thing they're no longer in your life. While you're dragging on about not having that friend anymore, you're not seeing all the greatness that will come through it.
If you're like me, even if you have a friend that isn't exactly "good friend" material you're not going to extinguish that friendship. You're the kind of person who lets everyone push you around and wouldn't think about telling that friend you can no longer be there friend. But let me tell you this, once you do, you'll be so much happier and you'll see how much darkness they were bringing into your life.
If your "friend" would rather put you down than build you up then they aren't a person you need in your life. You need people who love you, build you up and make your life better not worse. You need people that will be there for you as much as you're there for them. Someone who doesn't call just when they need something but just to check in.
You usually don't notice right off who this friend is but you will, and when you do it's okay to end a toxic friendship. You don't need to feel bad about.
My momma would always tell me when she thought someone was not someone I should be hanging around and I never listened, I can tell you now if your momma says someone is no good then chances are they are probably no good.
