Hey you,

I am sure you 're probably reading this. I just want to say that I miss you. I miss your contagious laugh and the kindness you always displayed. I thought nothing would come in between our bond. I really thought we would future bridesmaids whenever we actually got our lives together and got married. I just knew you would always be the first person I called during a situation, whether it was good or bad. I miss that you were just a text or Snapchat away. You were like a sister to me.

It's so weird to me that all of that is gone. It kills me a little on the inside that when your name comes up in conversation that I have to change the subject before I say something I will regret. I miss being able to see you after long periods of time and talk like time did not pass by at all. We used to not be able to go a week without communicating and now it's been months since I have even opened a Snapchat from you.

Most importantly though I want to tell you: thank you. Thank you for leaving me. Thank you for starting terrible and untrue rumors about me. Your gossip made me develop an even deeper appreciation for the truth. Your need for attention and thirst for drama made me realize that the Lord created me to be a part of something than this world.

I am grateful for our failed friendship because our failed friendship helped me realize that just one failed relationship would not define me. This lesson helps not only in our friendship but in my life. A failed relationship with a boyfriend, girlfriend, family member, or friend does not define who you are, who you want to be, or where the future will take you.

The future is a scary and beautiful thing. And to be honest I am glad I am facing the future without you.

Sincerely,

The Girl You Abondaned
