A Letter To My Ex Best Friend

Best friend break ups are worse than boy breakups.

Hey you,

We haven’t spoken in awhile and I don’t know how I feel about that. I hate that we don’t talk anymore. You used to be my go-to. You were my ride or die, you were “My Person” and now we aren’t even friends on facebook. How did that happen? I don’t even remember the words exchanged the finalization of the termination of our friendship. Did I take it too far? Did you? I can’t remember. Sure I remember us fighting, I remember thinking you weren’t the same person anymore, but I just keep trying to figure out if it was really worth losing you as my best friend.

I miss you, but I also haven’t forgiven you yet. In some ways, a friend breakup is far worse than any boyfriend breakup I have ever endured. I think you broke my heart more than any guy ever could have. Probably because I told you more than I have ever told a guy. Through all the different guys and girl drama and everything in between, you were my person I ran to. I held you when you cried, I told you boys were stupid, I constantly reminded you how beautiful you were, when your other “best friends” weren’t giving you the support you needed, I would tell you they sucked and that I would always be there for you. It was always us against the world. I thought it was anyway. The biggest disappointment was being on the other side. It was you and your other best friends against me and I think that hurt more than seeing an ex with a new girlfriend. You weren’t my best friend anymore, and you didn’t have my back.

I think at the end of the day I appreciate what happened between you and me because it made me a little less trusting, I think everyone needs to go through that kind of heartbreak in their life. However I will never stop missing you, I will never stop grabbing my phone to text you something only you would understand, and I will never stop wishing we were still friends. I will always hope you are doing well and I will always be rooting for you. On some level I think we will always be best friends even if it is only from afar. We invested so much into each other’s lives, I will always be praying for your happiness and my heart will always hurt when I hear that things haven’t been going your way. Even though we don’t talk anymore and even though people might assume we hate each other now, I want you to know how deeply sorry I am and I hope you know I will always be cheering you on.

Love,

Your Ex-Best Friend

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
