Dear friends that I never thought would ever become strangers,

When you were in my life, I always told myself that you would never leave, or that we truly would be friends forever. That is what anyone hopes for when growing a friendship. I can't blame either one of us for the lost friendship, even though I'm sure everybody somewhat blames the other person more than themselves. God brought you into my life and took you out when He felt like a lesson was learned or the perfect amount of memories were made with each one of you. God brought you into my life just as he took you out. We do not need each other anymore, even though we used to a great amount.

I do not regret becoming friends with any of you.The hours spent with you made me grow into somebody that I am so proud of. And I love to see how you all are doing when you pop up on my news feed. It makes me unbelievably happy to see that you are doing great things, and I am always here supporting and cheering on each one of you. I go through my pictures and see our faces smiling together and just remember the memories. If it was not for each of you, I would not have learned what to do and what not to do in my future friendships. You called me out on what I did wrong, and challenged me to become a stronger person every single day. I truly could not thank you enough for the hours spent feeling limitless and like it was us against the world. Thank you for being my best friend even if it was just for a little bit. You truly changed my life, each of you.

I used to blame myself for letting people walk out of my life. I used to believe there was something wrong with me or that I was a bad friend. But I have realized through the years that it is honestly just a part of life. People honestly do come and go, and it is not a bad thing. Friendships tear apart simply because things have changed and a lot of times it is hard to stay in contact with every single person. Sometimes you have to move on from people who aren't helping you grow, and I am sorry for everybody that I pushed away simply because life got too hectic. And I forgive all of you who stopped trying and gave up on our friendship.

If you were my friend at any time, you changed my life. I am glad you were apart of my life, and I will always hold those memories in a little place in my heart. Thank you. Thank you for everything. I miss you all, and I will always care about each one of you. Thanks for being the temporary light in my life and for being there for me when I needed it most or just needed someone to talk to.

Love, a long lost friend who will never forget you.
