I am not the type of person who likes to start drama or fight with anyone. Making people angry is my least favorite thing to do. I love to make people laugh and smile, it’s who I am. I have a big heart. I care about a lot of people and hate absolutely no one. When people take advantage of my kind heart, I don’t take it lightly. It is one of the many things that truly makes me mad. Here's a letter for the friend that took me for granted.
To the friend that took me for granted,
Recommended for you
First of all, I want you to know that I don’t regret my friendship with you. You helped shape me into the person I am today and I am grateful for that. Our memories are some of my favorite, but I wish I would have walked away from our friendship a long time ago.
Our friendship has made me realize what I deserve and what a real friendship shouldn't be. Don’t get me wrong, you weren’t necessarily a terrible friend, but you weren’t willing to jump puddles for me when I would cross oceans for you. I was constantly putting your needs before mine, but it was a rare occasion if you did the same. You didn’t put me in your life because you cared about me, but rather to take advantage of my presence.
I never thought that you would take me for granted the way that you have. I was one of the few people who was there for you at all times. I genuinely cared about the things that were happening in our life, but you took advantage of it and you never thought you would lose it. Congratulations, you just did.
I constantly would be wracking my brains trying to figure out what I did wrong when you would ignore me and pretend I didn’t exist. After awhile of worrying about what I did wrong, I got over it and forgot about it, but then you had to come around acting like nothing ever happened—of course I fell for it. It was a never ending cycle of feeling worthless and then feeling like I actually meant something to you. I didn’t and still don’t appreciate the games you played, because quite frankly, I take friendships seriously. Each and every one of my friendships means something to me.
I’m not angry with you, I am just done. I’m done feeling worthless. I’m done trying to be there for you when you aren’t there for me. I am not going to be pushed around anymore. I wish you the best in all that life brings you and will always be here if you need something, but consider this a goodbye. Thank you for the good & bad memories; I will always cherish them no matter what happens. Thank you for teaching me that being treated like crap isn’t my only option. This is your loss, not mine.
Sincerely,
The friend you took for granted
