One day we just stopped talking. That is one of the worst ways to end a friendship, but sometimes it’s how it happens. Maybe the paths in life we were walking started to split, maybe you weren’t who I thought you were or maybe we both changed for the better. Either way, things will never be the way they once were. I won’t call you right after a date went well, I won’t text you when I’m sad and need someone to talk to, I won’t find things for us to do because we’re not friends anymore. All of the laughs, tears, smiles, and inside jokes are all obsolete now. A chapter has closed and all we can do is move forward.
I want to say thank you. Thank you for being someone who believed in me, encouraged me and helped shape me to be who I am today. Through the good and bad times memories were made that I will cherish for a life time. I have the maturity to look back and not be upset, but smile. Smile on the fact that for a good period of time you were a great friend to me, and we got to know each other on a more personal level. I live peacefully knowing you’ve found someone else to confine your deepest secrets in, and someone who’s there for you when you need it.
People change. It’s’ such a simple phrase to say but so hard to comprehend sometimes. We want to stay friends with someone because “we’ve been friends for X-years long” when in reality sometimes all people do is bring you down. As we blossom into the people we're meant to be sometimes we lose each other along the way. There's no sense in trying to keep something going that just isn't meant to be. No matter how hard you try if it's not meant to be it's not meant to be. Time and quantity should not determine a friendship because in the end quality does.
At the end of the day, I’m genuinely happy for you. As much as I want to wonder where things went wrong, it’s time for me to move on in life. I have so many adventures ahead of me, people I will meet and places to go. Carrying around remorse, questions or sadness won’t do either of us any good. It’s time for us to be who we’re meant to be and who knows maybe one day things will change. Maybe we will be able to pick up right where we left off, or not.
