To The 'Best Friend' I Had To Let Go

Because sometimes broken things should stay broken.

To The 'Best Friend' I Had To Let Go

To my ex "best friend,"

For a very long time, you were literally my other half, the glue that held me together. We shared more memories than I can even remember. You've seen me at my worst and you've helped me get to the best version of myself. Unfortunately, dropping our friendship is what got me here.

We were inseparable, you were my family. We went through so many phases together, from going out and drinking to becoming mothers. You saw me through it all. But there was always some part of me that knew you didn't value our friendship the same way I did. I loved you so much and you were a sister to me and I would've done anything for you. However, it didn't seem to be reciprocated, it was always me trying to hang out and me trying to even just have a conversation.

Why was it like this? It's simple. You put every guy you dated before me. Even the guys who were only there for one reason, you still chose them over our friendship. The straw that broke the camels back was when you started secretly dating someone that I used to have feelings for on and off over the years. You didn't even tell me, you hid it from me. No this guy and I weren't serious, but when I know you tried to get with a guy from my past before, it really got under my skin, because that was just one more thing you lied to me about. When I confronted you about the second one though, all you said was "sure am" and that's the last thing you've ever said to me. I decided then and there that I had no interest in being your friend anymore because you so obviously didn't care. You proceeded to blast this new relationship all over social media and you knew exactly what you were doing. But I wasn't jealous so if that was your reasoning, to rub it in my face, you failed. I was amused by it and it just kept adding to the reasons why I was done. I eventually hid you from my timeline and deleted you on other forms of social media, but it's been 8 months since we've spoken. You now have me blocked on all social media platforms, probably because I deleted you first.

So that's where we are now. We hate each other. We're missing out on our children growing up together as we always talked about. My son loved you, he lit up whenever you were around and I loved your kids like they were my own and thats what breaks my heart the most.

I think there will always be a part of me that has a place for you in my heart, I just don't see our friendship ever rekindling and I don't need it to. I have a best friend, someone that was always there for me when you weren't, someone who has stuck by me way longer than you did. So I'll keep your secrets and the tattoo we have together. I'll wish you and your family the best. But I do not miss you. I miss the crazy fits of laughter we used to get into, I miss all of our inside jokes and the adventures we went on together. But I don't miss YOU, I miss who you were or at least who I thought you were.

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.

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.
