I haven't looked back since.
I could not have imagined my life looking like it does right now. I also couldn’t have imagined that this new life that I love would mean I would lose people I love as well. People who I thought would always be around walked away from me but their void made way for God to feel it with new faces and so much more love. I wondered so long why those people aren’t in my life at this present moment and here is why…
Old ones, this is for you!
To my high school best friend, thank you. Thank you for all the memories, both good and bad. At one point in my life, we hung together every day. Our days consisted of crazy shenanigans and contagious laughs filled every area of my life. I thought our friendship was destined for success, right?
Sadly, I was wrong!
On graduation day, we thought our relationship would never change, we knew our life would, but we knew this one thing would never change. Sadly, it was another thing we were wrong about. We didn’t plan on our life taking a turn for the better for both of us. Well, I hope it turned out how you wanted, we don’t talk at all these days, and somehow I am not upset.
Isn't it funny how life works out?
Looking back today, I'm glad our friendship didn't work out. Not because I did not love you, but I needed this for me. Once college rolled around, we both changed. Our priorities differed and our life goals did not match up. My faith happened and you couldn’t handle that and for that, I am not sorry. Texts and hang out sessions became fewer and fewer until they were non-existent in our lives. However, for me, it was the best thing for me. I learned what a friendship in Christ looks like. I could become who I truly was meant to be without you judging me. That’s what changed for me, I found something you did not fully understand. That hurt me for you not to support me but it’s okay I don’t fault you. I hope you can find something for you.
This is goodbye, old friend.
Thank you for teaching me how to get outside of my comfort zone. Thank you for teaching me the value of friendship in the moment. But this is goodbye for us! I hope life turns out the way you wanted. I hope you find a friend that will be what I couldn’t be for you! I love you old friend!
From, Your Ex-Best friend
