Let's be honest, we all have friends that we were only friends because we sat next to them five days a week for an hour and a half. We bonded over how awful the last paper was. I have maybe two friends left from high school. And honestly, I'm not that upset.

To my old friend from high school,

For a while, I really did miss you. I didn't understand why we didn't talk as much. I didn't understand why you only wrote "Wish we talked more! Miss you!" in my year book. I didn't understand why I had no one to celebrate graduation with. It wasn't until I began seeing several of you the summer after my freshman year of college, that I could understand.

No one in our class stayed close. The best of friends, don't speak. The people who had been dating since freshman year, won't speak to each other. We all dissipated after graduation. And maybe it was for the best.

I thought you were changing for the better. Taking steps in the right direction. You even felt bad for how you treated me during our last semester together. I forgave you. I wanted this to work and for us to be friends again. Because at one point, I really did miss you. You asked me about my life and you seemed really interested in what I was doing. It really validated how I felt that I had changed for the better.

But now that it's back into the swing of things, we don't speak, and I can't say I'm disappointed. I became a better person without you. My life was continuing on without you, and honestly, I was much happier. You were making such good progress over the summer, and now you're the same person you were in high school. It only makes me sad, because the person you were was not a good friend. Now i'm seeing you do it all over again.

I've realized that I don't miss high school. And I don't miss the people I used to call my friends.

We all left for a reason.

I hope that one day, you'll find people you can be your genuine self with. 'Cause she's pretty great. But I still think you have some growing up to do.
