A Letter To My Ex-Best Friend

Thank you for all the memories you gave me

Dear Ex-Best Friend,

Hey. How are you? I can't believe it has been years since we last talked.... All those years ago I would have never thought this would happen to us. So much has happened since we have last spoken, and it hurts knowing we are no longer friends.

What happened between us? It seemed like one day we were texting every second of the day, and the next there was just silence. You were the one I could rely on for anything. You were the one I would call 10 times a day just to say I missed you even though we just saw each other. You were the one I was looking forward to seeing every day. You were the one. You were my person. And then it all just stopped.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry no longer being your person. I'm sorry for not making all those memories like we planned. I'm sorry for not being your future bridesmaid. I'm sorry for not living next to each other and growing old together. I'm sorry for everything that ever happened between us. I'm sorry for the fighting, the tears, the anger, and most of all, for not having you in my life anymore.

Even though we are no longer friends, I want to thank you. Thank you for making me laugh until I could no longer breathe. Thank you for picking me up when I was down. Thank you for knowing exactly what to say when I was in one of my moods. Thank you for the countless nights where we would stay up late and just talk. Thank you for being you. Thank you for making me who I am today. But most of all, thank you for showing me how to be a true friend. Without you, I would have never known what to look for in a best friend. Without you, I probably would not have met my current best friend. I wouldn't have the relationship I have with her if you didn't show me what that was all about.

I miss you.... a lot. Sometimes I go through old photos of us on Facebook and I just laugh. I often wonder what was going through our heads when I look back at those crazy pictures. I often find myself on your Facebook or Instagram and smile. You seem so happy. I am happy that you are happy. Hopefully, your current best friend treats you right, because I only want the best people to be your friends.

I often get asked how you are these days and it saddens me to know that I really don't know how you are. I find myself wishing we could catch up, but I know nothing will ever be as it was before. Just know, that if you ever need anything or need someone to talk to, I am only a phone call away. I will always be here for you, just like we said all those years ago.

I love you more than words can describe,

Your Ex-Best Friend

9 Reasons Your RBF Isn't The Worst Thing

RBF keeps you pretty #sorrynotsorry

Some Life

The infamous RBF is something I have and am known for. It’s kind of exhausting to be asked if you're okay all the time or being told to smile more. Girls with RBF get judged to be mean and rude much quicker than the girl who is always smiling. It’s true and just plain natural for someone who is generally smiling all the time to come off as more trustworthy and I've gotten used to it. I used to think that having a Resting Bitch Face was only a bad thing until I realized that just like anything else, it also has its perks. Having a permafrown with a piercing look comes with great power.

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.

RBF keeps you pretty #sorrynotsorry

4.You become better at reading people

5.You're as intimidating as a girl can get and they expect you to be a bitch.

7.You come off as more confident.

6. When you want to go to a party but you have to get up at 6AM the next morning for work:

7. But at the same time you haven't had some fun in a while... so, you decide to go because you definitely deserve it.

8. When a cute guy you've been crushing on makes the first move:

9. But when he doesn't text or call you the next day, you decide life sucks

10. But then you remember the Meagle motto:

11. And so you put on your hottest outfit and strut your stuff. Because you're a strong independent woman who don't need no man

12. When someone asks you what you're going to do with your life:

13. But hey, no worries. Leslie figured it out, and you always have this option:

14. And at the end of it all, the only thing that's going to matter is the fact that you...
