An Open Letter To My Ex-Best Friend

In This Article:

I am sorry. I am sorry that I was not as good as a friend as I could have been. I am sorry I let little things bother me when they should not have. I am sorry we are not really friends anymore.

We were inseparable; we would spend four to five days together and not get tired of each other. From late-night food runs, horror movie marathons, and helping each other with school projects, I loved every minute with you. You were my Hannah Montana to my Lola. Those were the best days, the days when we had nothing to worry about.

Then you got a boyfriend.

I do not mean this in a passive-aggressive way. I was happy for you; he treated you well. There is a different side to you that he brought out that nobody else has been able to. I understand everyone wants to feel this way, everyone deserves to feel this way.

However, as soon as he did come around, your priorities changed and I was replaced. I just wish you understood there was room for both of us.

It got to the point where I knew I should not call you because you would be on the phone with him anyway. I knew I would have to find other plans every night of the weekend because you were leaving to go see him. I was scared to reach out to you because I knew I would be declined. Then you got mad at me because I never attempted to see you. I was hurting.

But I am sorry. I should have said something sooner. After all, we were best friends; we told each other everything. Maybe if I said something you would see what I saw and been able to fix it. So I am sorry that you did not have anyone to help you through the breakup, I did not think you wanted me around.

Actually, we were not just best friends. We were sisters, a family. And I miss you.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
