To The Best Friend I Lost To Her Boyfriend

We were best friends until you met him.

Life Hacks

I don't even know where to begin.

We were inseparable; two peas in a pod. We used to spend almost all of our free time together, seeing you so much never got old. You probably knew me better than I knew myself, and I knew things about you that no one else did. Whether I was happy, sad, mad, or just wanted to talk to someone, you were always the first person I called. We didn't need men, because we had each other to laugh with, to go on cute "dates" with, and to lay on the couch and watch Netflix for hours together. You were easily one of the best friends I've had.

Now, I don't recall the last time I've seen you. Everything was great, and then you started dating someone. Don't get me wrong, I am SO happy for you. You deserve the world and more, and I am thankful you have found someone who treats you the way you deserve to be treated. I didn't think, however, that he would take you away from me.

I miss our friendship more than I can describe. I tried to keep in contact, but eventually I just gave up because you never followed through. I fought so hard because I cared about you more than you know, but I guess the feeling wasn't mutual. It hurts so much that you can't even take the time to text me and ask how life is, or even make any effort to reach out to me. We used to talk every single day, and going more than 2 days without seeing each other was almost unheard of. We had so many great times together, and I have so many pictures proving that. You were my partner in crime - which lead to some questionable decisions - but I wouldn't have had it any other way.

I try not to be, but I am mad at you for throwing away our friendship for a guy. I try to give you the benefit of the doubt and remind myself that you are happy, and you deserve that.

However, I know I was too good of a friend to be kicked to the curb by someone you barely knew.

I held you while you cried so many times, I brought you ice cream when you were sad, and I know I did a pretty good job of doing everything I could to help you. I know you did the same, and I will forever appreciate that. The difference between you and I, however, is that I did not drop you when something important came in to my life. Maybe I am just too caring of a person to be able to do that to someone, or maybe we were never as close as I thought we were; I guess I'll never know.

I just want you to know that I truly do want you to be happy. Like I have said multiple times, you deserve it. You were such a great friend of mine, and I honestly have no idea what my life would be like if you hadn't been a part of it. Those memories, they will never go away, and they will always be cherished. However, if your relationship doesn't work out, don't expect me to be there waiting for you. In the end, you made your decision, and I've made mine.

You know this, and I know this: that I am too good of a friend to be treated the way that you treated me. I do not need people in my life who are going to make me feel as insignificant as you did.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
