Breaking Up With A Friend Is So Much Worse Than Breaking Up With A Boy

If you've ever been through a friend breakup, you know the pain is real.

Breaking Up With A Friend Is So Much Worse Than Breaking Up With A Boy

I'm not going to lie. I miss you. I miss you a lot. I miss being able to text you and talk about anything. If I had to do over our relationship, maybe things would be different.

Thank you for being the person who was always there for me. You were the person I called when everything was falling apart. You were there through breakups and makeups and breakups again. You knew every single gory detail, the good and the bad, and you loved me anyway. You supported me like no one else.

Honestly, I miss being able to walk into a room and for us to have a conversation with just one look. I miss us being on the same page. There are so many times when something happens and you're the first person I want to talk to about it.

It's like accidentally grabbing a curling iron. It's completely unexpected and shocking, and the pain lasts longer than the split second that your hand touches the barrel.

Breaking up with a friend is so much harder than breaking up with a boy. The worst kind of breakup is when things just fizzle out and fall apart. I wonder now if things could have been different if I would have been more open, more willing to talk about the things that were truly going on in my life.

I believe in soul mates. Not just romantic ones, but the type of friends that you just connect with. It's like the friendship is just meant to be. That's how I felt about us.

We have so much history. We've shared so many times together, and it kills me that those memories bring me sadness instead of joy. I wish I could update you about my life - about everything - but I think it's a little too late. I just hope you're doing okay.

You were my Meredith Grey and Christina person. That's just it. We were inseparable. We knew everything about each other. We had so many inside jokes because, let's be honest, I'm kind of hilarious. Sorry (not sorry). It's so depressing to think of those little jokes, those little memories, that have died out.

We don't talk crap about the same people anymore, which sounds bad, but we're both awful gossips. We don't have late night conversations or lunch dates. We don't have anything because I'm not in your orbit and you're not in mine.

It's 3:00 AM, and I have class in the morning. But here's to hoping that our paths will cross again someday when the time is right. Because you don't forget about soul mates.

It's not a goodbye. It's a see ya later.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
