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.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.
