Thank you for the time that you chose to spend with me. When you were around, things were great. We had great memories and went on the best adventures. I told you everything and you listened, and that meant so much to me.

I held you when you cried because your boyfriend cheated on you, and you still chose him over me. So thank you for showing me that even when I tried my hardest, I wasn't important enough to remain in your life.

I tried so hard to be there for you, even when you pushed me away. I put so much time and energy into our friendship that it was draining. So thank you for showing me that if someone doesn't care about you, they will show it.

I wasted so many tears on you and spent way too much time thinking about your happiness, instead of mine. Thank you for forcing me to realize that sometimes, my happiness should come first.

After months of trying to keep my best friend, I finally realized that it wasn't worth the time or stress.

Ever since that point, a lot of things have changed. I have put our memories and adventures behind me, and decided to make new ones, with new people. Not only have I put our toxic relationship behind me, but because of you, I have put all of the other toxic relationships I endured behind me as well. I have reconnected with old friends that I left behind and I have made great, new memories. I have finally realized that the only people I need in my life are the ones that actually want to be there. Now that you're gone, I have grown up and realized who actually cares about me, and I've never been happier.

So thank you for showing me that I wasn't enough for you.
