I'm not sure how it happened, whether we stopped making time for each other or we just kind of grew up and spread our branches elsewhere. But the most important thing to be noted is that I don't hate you. I never have and I never would. In fact, I can guarantee I'm cheering you on from afar.
I can't thank you enough for the person you've helped me to become. I know that I wouldn't have found her if it were not for your friendship or lack thereof. I'm constantly stumbling in my life and I feel lost at sea more often than not, but I know who I am and who I am not, because of you.
I still have lots of times where somehow an old inside joke of ours will pop in my head or I see something that instantly reminds me of you and your friendship. I always smile to myself in these moments because these are memories I will truly cherish forever.
Some of our ties have been cut intentionally and some of us just drifted over time. Either way, I thank you for allowing me in your life for the duration of our friendship. I can't speak for you, but I know that my heart is full of nothing but love for my friends both old and new.
Our friendship may have faded but it doesn't change how I view the past. I don't regret being friends with you, but I also don't regret any longer being friends.
Its quite a conundrum if I'm being honest, one I don't quite understand myself. I'm so very enthused about the direction my life is going that I wouldn't change a single thing, even if it comes at the cost of losing your friendship.
I'm not your friend. I'm not your enemy.
I hope that life finds you in a happy and content place.
I'm aiming for the stars and I hope you'll choose to do the same.
