Losing people that were big parts of your life is one of the worst things about growing up. As much as we try to prevent it, it is bound to happen. People change, situations change and that often ends with losing someone important.

I have always taken losing these people pretty hard. It is hard trying to get used to life without someone that was a part of your everyday life. I put so much into my relationships, friendships, and family that when they walk out of my life it usually takes a pretty big toll on me. I take it personal most of the time. I find myself asking "Was I not enough for them?" but at the end of the day, I know I don't control their actions and I can't help if they want to walk away from me.

After losing boyfriends and best friends I have learned that becoming bitter is not worth it. While this never really gets easier to deal with, I have learned to thank them instead of letting them get to me.

So thank you for walking out of my life. You have pushed me to love myself. You have pushed me to become a better for me, not for anyone else. You have taught me what to look for in relationships and friendships. You have taught me to not let everything get to me. You have shown me my worth. You have taught me what not to do when it comes to relationships with people. You have taught that people change and so do I.

Thank you for walking away because one day you'll wish that you didn't. You taught me to cherish my friends/relationships even more. You will watch me treat people better than you ever treated me, and you'll wish you were still in my life. Thank you so much, for making me a better me.

Losing important people is never easy, especially when these people make the choice to walk out of your life. But you can't be bitter about it because you can't control it. Things change and that's life. Let them walking away from you fuel you to become a better person and friend. Walking out of my life is one of them best things you could do for me and my well-being.

So thank you.
