I have been so unbelievably angry. I am angry that you couldn't be the friend I thought you were. I am angry that you intentionally hurt me by dating a boy you know I cared a lot about. I am angry that despite everything we've been through I still miss you. I miss the old you, the one that cared about me, that wanted the best for me, and disliked the boys that hurt me. But now, you don't care and you are with the boy that hurt me the most. You aren't you anymore.

I've been reflecting on my anger and I decided that I have a lot to thank you for. Thank you for teaching me that not everyone has the heart that I have. Not everyone is going to give the same respect and love to me that I give to them . Thank you for teaching me that I deserve better. I deserve better friends, I deserve a man who will respect me, I deserve to be put first and to be a number one priority. Thank you for breaking my heart. I would blame it on the boy, but he and I were never like how we were. We were best friends, I trusted you with all my heart and you broke it. Thank you for teaching me how to put the pieces back together; I have cracks in my heart, but at least it's a beautiful heart with good intentions.

What I want to thank you for the most, is the insight to who I want to be. I want to be the person who you can come back to if you ever need me. I want to be the person that people trust and I want to be the person with the kind heart. I want to be the person who lives their life knowing I did everything in my power to help other's with their struggles. I want to be the person who is respected, not because I am wealthy with money or possessions, but because I am wealthy with knowledge and wisdom. I will be the best version of me because the old me has been ruined. I am stronger, more genuine, and more understanding thanks to you.

Thank you for the memories. Thank you for the lessons. Thank you for everything. I'm glad you were able to teach me these lessons of life early on. I wish the best for you, because unlike you, I still care. I still love you like a sister and I always will.

Love,

Your Ex Best Friend
