There comes a point in life where you realize it is time to stop throwing people out the window, time to stop pushing people away and time to stop dropping people. It is at that moment when you realize it is time to start learning what is worth fighting for. Ultimately, many people and many things are worth the fight but there are the few that just do not make the cut. And what happens to the relationships that are not worth the fight? You break up.

When you break up with your significant other who do you call? Your best friend. But who do you call when you break up with your best friend? The one person you thought you would never have to break up with and who has been by your side since you were a little kid. In my opinion, it is the break up that hurts the most.

Friendships just slowly start to fade away. You stop talking, stop hanging out, you both get busy and life just sorta gets in the way. Those are the friendships that just fizzle out. You do not end on bad terms and majority of the time, you guys can still be civil with one another. In my book, it is the way most friendships end.

Then you have the friendships that do not fade away. They end suddenly and unexpectedly. The ones where you break up. I will be the first to say that it is perfectly ok to break up with your best friend. Sometimes people just become toxic and bring you down more than they build you up, and those are not the kind of people you want nor need in your life. You just gotta do what is best for you. Going through a friendship break up is tough but sometimes it is whats best for everyone. They say if a friendship lasts seven or more years, it will last a lifetime. For me thats true in some cases and not in others.
