Dear Ex-Best Friend,

High school is a place where you're supposed to figure out who you are and who you like. You date a few people and decide what kind of person is right for you, you make friends and then loose them. And can I just say something? I am so glad that we fell apart.

You were nice. We had some fun times together. But in the end, I'm glad we're not friends anymore. I considered you my best friend, and I thought we could make it. However, high school, as I said, is all about growth. And as I grew smarter and more mature, I realized you weren't the friend for me. You were immature, you liked to create drama. And I didn't.

I'm sure you feel the same way about me. It became very clear towards the end of our friendship that we weren't going to get along forever. I was a different person when I was friends with you, and I am happy that you helped me realize that I wanted to become someone else, someone who isn't friends with you.

And I am sorry. I'm sorry if you have memories about me and if sometimes you smile when you think about all the laughs we had together. However, I truly believe that our friendship was meant to help us both grow. It was meant to help us both realize what we wanted in a friendship- and it wasn't this.

I'm not sorry, however, that we don't talk anymore. That we aren't friends. It's for the better. And I wish you the best throughout the rest of your growth period. I hope you have more friendships, and those bare better than ours.

But if I could offer advice, it would be to stop being so annoying and that drama isn't cool, and you're friends will get really tired of your dumb stories really quick.

Have a nice life, friend.

-An ex.
