An Open Letter to My Ex-Best Friend

I wish you the best.

An Open Letter to My Ex-Best Friend
me

Dear Former Best Friend,

This isn't a letter to bash you or our friendship. It is more of me accepting that we are no longer friends and a way for me to finally vocalize my feelings about everything.

I genuinely hope you have found new friends that understand you better than I could. I hope they sing along in the car with you to all your favorite songs. You deserve the friends that love and care about you. I hope you have friends that are better fitted to what your dreams and goals are in life now.

We used to be best friends. The kind of best friends that did everything together and were always together every weekend. We stood up for each other no matter what the circumstances were. We helped each other with anything and everything. You were always there for me.

For that I thank you. Thank you for your friendship. For the endless laughs and jokes when we were together. Thank you for loving and accepting me no matter what happened or what I told you. Thank you for the time we were each other's best friend.

We got into a fight, I don't even remember what happened.. But we haven't been the same since. Between moving and making new friends after the fight we drifted apart. We had grown so much together, but eventually we grew apart ad stopped talking all together.

I was so angry at first. I never hated you, I could never hate you. But I was so angry at the situation and at how we ended our friendship. I was angry at the rumors and at how much I still missed you. But I am not angry anymore. I have realized people grow apart and everything in life is a lesson and it all happens for a reason.

I apologize for how I acted during all of this. And I apologize for any ill will you may still feel. I know you may never need me again, but my door is always open if you need anything.

I genuinely wish you the best in your future endeavors and with everything in your life. I have just realized I cannot keep worrying about you as a best friend would when we aren't that anymore.

Love,

Your ex-best friend

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, 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."
