The End. Two words that can crush a being's soul and heart. It is always hard to come to terms with the beginning, and end, of the end of a friendship or relationship. Leaving somebody this way feels like a part of your soul is being ripped out and thrown across the Earth, never to be seen from again. Although the hurt of losing someone that we are close with is close to unbearable, some people that we interact with are more like poisons to our mind, rather than an ingredient of the elixir of life.

The hardest thing for somebody to do is to leave somebody they are emotionally connected to. Even so, the most difficult things may also be the right things. You may be choked up, but having someone around that does nothing but bring you down emotionally and restrains you of living is someone you can do without. You'll always never want the connection between you both to end, because even with all the bad that they do to you or how much they aggravate you, the good times and memories that you shared with them always seem to prevail a bit more in your mind.

You can never truly forget the memories, but the person they were then is not the person they are now. They are not the same soul that you laughed until you cried with, they are not the same soul that you shed your tears with over a boy who hurt you. They are not the same, and neither are you. Their role in your life has completely changed, and to be freed of the weight they have caused on your soul, you need to learn to do without new memories with them.

One of the most difficult parts in the process is accepting. Accepting that they no longer are a positive part of your life is the first step into to changing not only whom you surround yourself with, but a new step into a new part of your life. The toxicity they bring is not worth the pain you are put through. Although the emotions resided within both of you are strong, sometimes the outside circumstances are that much harder to overcome.

Whether it be distance, their attitude, or you're trying to move on to a new part in your life, do not feel much pity. Nothing truly lasts forever, just a small time frame in which we call "forever." Some forevers are temporary and not worth keeping to string along. Forever is just a word along with thousands of others in a dictionary, and it can always lose its meaning between you and a toxic person.

Do not pity them, because this is your life and you drive the car down the road in which you wish to go; and sometimes there isn't enough room for everyone to come along. Do not let one person restrain your life and not let you choose the path in which you want your life to go, or let them have you turn back around to recede back into the person you were. Time changes everything, because as time passes by, the more experiences you have in finding yourself and where you want to be. Keep moving forward, because those who want to be a part of your life will then make effort to stay so they can get a ride alongside you too on the road of life.

Don't succumb to those who choose to remain distant and use no effort to communicate with you, succumb to the idea of a fresh start. And who knows, maybe you'll drive past your old friend walking down the same road you drove upon, and maybe this time there will be room to come along.
