To The Girl Whose Best Friend Just... Left

Best friend heartbreak... It's the worst.

Greg Raines

I know what you're going through. You feel like the one person you could depend on the most has chosen to simply leave you behind. No one deserves that, but you are going to be OK.

Try to remember that this isn't your fault.

Chances are if you're feeling sad about having lost your best friend, you were more than a friend worth having. Don't try to count the reasons for this. Sometimes, people decide to go their own way and choose not to look back.

No one deserves loss without even a single reason.

Don't be afraid to make new friends. It's hard to trust when your trust has been broken, especially when it's been broken by the one person who you thought you could count on. It might take some trial and error, and you might not feel like you've found the person to replace her, but try to focus on surrounding yourself with positive people.

Try to face the truth, for you.

Maybe you feel painfully alone. You probably feel angry, confused, and sad. In the end, remember to applaud yourself for the effort you gave your estranged friendship. Accept the fact that your best friend was unwilling to reciprocate. Appreciate the good times and don't be afraid to remember the positive memories, but move on so that you can be better and happier. The last thing you want to do is force a friendship that exists in the past. You will end up hurt more in the end.

Healing does take time.

No matter what you do, you will need time to heal. Losing your best friend is undeniably bound to leave you with a broken heart. After all, this is the person who has promised to be there when everyone else falls short. Focus on yourself to heal. Do your favorite things. Be your own best friend for a while. Take a break from social media and pursue something new. Regaining trust doesn't happen overnight, but you will do it eventually.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
