We all lose friends throughout our lives, some to death, others to different life phases. One friend decides to get married and settle down, the other is still in the party phase. Many friendships erode this way, and the ending happens gradually. But what about the friendships that end without warning? Or the ones where one single argument ends it for good? We never talk about the impact that this can have on us. We tend to focus all of our attention in the media on romantic breakups, as losing a boyfriend/girlfriend seems to be the "worst pain anyone can feel". But let's face it, losing a boyfriend would be much easier than losing your best friend. We can handle losing the romance in our lives, but not the comfort and laughter that a best friend brings. Who else would bring you ice cream after you spent nights crying over that loser who dumped you, or send you memes of cats to cheer you up over a failed test grade? Losing a friend feels like building a large Jenga tower only to watch it fall at the last second. We build memories, road trips, and years of solidity, only to watch all of it crumble within only a second over an argument about a guy or an unanswered text. However, maybe the friends we lose over things like this aren't meant to be in our lives forever. Maybe we're supposed to be hurt over a best friend suddenly cutting you out of their lives for no reason. Or finding someone "better". Aren't best friends supposed to stay forever though? In a perfect world, this would be the case.We would all die with our best friend and a bottle of wine in both of our hands. Sadly, such as with romantic breakups, some people only stay in our lives temporarily then leave. With a romantic relationship, we know that the person can end it at any time without warning. So we prepare for it. We're never prepared for a friendship to end. But they can, and they do. Losing a friend feels like actual never ending heartbreak. However, at the end of it all is someone else who will actually stay in your life and buy you all the ice cream in the world when you need it. Those are the types of friends worth having. Wait for them.
