One night, I was sitting with your ex-girlfriend getting ready for our first sleepover in college. It started off as a typical night of us talking about school and catching up on the latest drama. Then, it started to get a lot more personal than I could imagine. She decided to start telling me about you, the one that made her believe she wasn't good enough. You didn't know it then, but when you hurt her, you hurt me.

I was amazed to learn that you took things she was scared about and used it to your advantage. She isn't just something you can do anything you want with, she is a person. She is my best friend. I'm not here to give a summary of what happened between the two of you because that isn't my place. I'm here because I want you to know how much you have missed out on since you took advantage of her.

Even though it took her awhile to realize her worth, she is one of the most outstanding women that I know. Not only did she graduate high school in the top 10, but she was involved in activities that made her passionate. You always wanted to feel as if you were above her and controlled her, but this eventually made her stronger and more independent.

You missed out on her smile that can turn your day upside down and the laugh she does when she realizes she is sheltered compared to the rest of her friends. There were cross country meets that she excelled in that you weren't there to see. You missed out on the love her and her family would have given you. You weren't there when she created a club from scratch and inspired others to partake in it as well. How dare you make her question if she even deserved to be proud of herself?

Not only did you miss some parts of her life that she needed comforting and love, but you missed seeing her grow. You missed her getting a B in a class and getting upset about it. You missed out on countless nights of snuggling with her cats and going on walks with her dogs. Those aren't all the things that you missed out on, but those are some that make her special to me. The sad part is that you didn't want to do those things with her and started to find other people to be with.

I'm so thankful that she eventually moved on and met someone who gives her the world. That is what she deserves and to think you wouldn't give her half of that breaks my heart in half. She never asked for you to be perfect, she asked for you to be kind, loving, and understanding. Hopefully in your future relationships, you will remember how you made my best friend feel and want to change how you go about them.
