A Letter To My Ex-Best Friend
Anita Price

Dear Ex-Best Friend,

You are in all of my childhood memories. We use to be inseparable. Wherever I was, there you were right beside me, and vice-versa. We went together like peanut butter and jelly, and, like our favorite quote from our favorite movie, "Forrest Gump," like peas and carrots. We had the same interests from loving horses, having pink as a favorite color, and only liking strawberry flavored ice cream. For our entire time in elementary school, we were each other's only best friend. If one of us did not come to school one day for whatever reason, the other was lonely all day and just sat under the canopy at a picnic table during recess.


Then, in middle school, you left public school and went to a private catholic school, while I just went to the local middle school. However, that did not stop us. Every weekend, during any day off or anything planned in advance, we were both sure to be together. Being in 4-H Club together helped a lot too. We saw each other many days out of the week because of this and other plans during weekends. Then, once high school came, it was harder to see each other and make plans. Then we went to my 10th grade homecoming because my boyfriend at the time cancelled the night before. We just so happened to be having a 4-H Halloween Party that night, and I just asked you because, obviously, you were my first and only option.

Then, the next night, you met a boy there, who I didn't know, and you two hit it off. Your first date was 5 day later. We all went to the movies and saw "In Time" while your parents went and saw "Footloose." I was appointed third-wheel by your mom because she was nervous about you being with a guy by yourself for the first time in your life. You sat in the middle of me and him, but you wouldn't even talk to me all night. Once the movie was over and we met your parents outside the theater and started walking to the car, your mom noticed you were ignoring me. She asked if you had been doing that all night, and I said yes. I was visibly upset.

The next week we were supposed to have plans for just you and I. You and your parents came to pick me up, I go and open the door to the jeep, and there you are sitting with that guy in the back seat. I was upset, but tried to hide it from you, which I did successfully because you never asked if I was okay. Then you guys broke up months later because, according to him, he didn't feel the same, when in reality he wanted another girl. I tried telling you because he told me at lunch all the time, and I guess he figured that I wouldn't tell you. He was wrong. I told you, and you got mad...but not at him. You got mad at me because you said I was making it up, and that I was "jealous." Then we started slowly pulling away from each other, but still managed to hang out when we could.

Then, the day before my 18th birthday, I called you and asked if you would like to do something for my birthday. You said you would like to, and that you would talk to and see me the next day. Then, 30 minutes later, you texted me for some reason saying to not text you or call you anymore. You said that we were no longer friends and goodbye, but to have a happy early 18th birthday. I was so upset because you were my best friend. We had plans to go to the same high school, the same college, and graduate to become veterinarians so that we could open our own clinic. Now, none of that has happened. Thank you for being my best friend, though, and for all the fun memories. I will always love and miss you.

Sincerely,

Your still broken hearted EX-Best Friend.

(This video always makes me laugh and remember the good times with you.)

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
