“Some people come into your life for a season, and some come for a lifetime. Never mix up seasonal people with lifetime expectations.”
Looking back at our friendship has been difficult for me over the past year. You were my best friend and the person I turned to for everything. You were also the person who came in and out of my life constantly. Last year we reconnected after spending a few years apart due to our paths going different directions. We had always had fun together and use to be so close and when we hung out again it was like we never missed a beat.
We spent last year doing everything together. You helped me prepare for graduation, we went on a road trip, hung out with our mutual friends, and life was good. I needed that solid friendship so badly in my life at that time to get through the things I was going through and you did as well. I don’t regret a day spent catching up on the years missed or the new adventures we went on. But I never saw what was coming. As the days went on you started to only want to be my friend or hangout with me when it was convenient for you, or when there wasn’t a better option.
Looking back at our friendship has been difficult for me over the past year. We were best friends for so long and then it all just came to a screeching halt one day. In a time where everything I knew had seemed to be falling apart around me you abandoned me. At this point I had graduated high school and was dreading college, my best friend was moving away, I had gone through hell that Summer emotionally, and I didn’t know what I was going to do about any of it. You were pretty much the last solid thing that I had. But then one day you just left. Ghosted me. You were fine and then done in a matter of days. You cut me off with really no explanation at all.
It’s been a long process for me to put these thoughts on paper. Even tonight as I write this I’m still unclear on many things, including why our friendship ever ended in the first place. You didn’t give me much of a reason and probably never will. So thank you for the memories but you needed to be a season in my life and I’ve figured that out now. I wish you nothing but the best. Thank you for everything. PS, I’ll always blast ‘Riding Solo’ and sing just for you.
