"When people walk away from you, let them go. Your destiny is never tied to anyone who leaves you, and it doesn't mean they are bad people. It just means that their part in your story is over." Recently, I've had a falling out with one of my friends. She used to be like a sister to me- we were there for each other through everything. We walked with each other in our happy moments and helped each other up in darker patches, as good friends do. We had this close bond for 4 years, almost. This all changed roughly a week ago.
For awhile now, she's been dating a guy who used to be one of my friends, too. We were really close, even as they started dating. Slowly, we began to have problems... not even tied to their relationship, just problems in general. Slowly, these problems grew bigger and bigger and finally, they split us apart. This left him with stung ego and battered feelings towards me, which transcended onto her. She and I had been having arguments over the stupidest crap after that, and these too turned into larger fights. Finally, after nearly a month of it, she blew up at me and one of her other friends. We all used to be extremely close... and she suddenly turned around on us and broke everything off. We tried apologies and we tried to fix things, but all we got was profanity and yelling. It was terrible and was quite honestly one of the worst days I have had in awhile. We got blocked. And we haven't talked or seen each other since. It's rough, losing someone who I held so close to me... I actually cried over it and it threw me into a mild depression that was more than likely influenced by my ability to over-think things and hormone shifts. But now... I've been reading quotes about friendship and this has helped me to realize to not regret the fact that our friendship is over, but appreciate the fact that it happened to begin with. This particular friend managed to help me through some of the roughest patches I have faced in my life and never turned me down when I was in need of help... and I was the same with her. Without meeting her... without her bond... my life may be considerably different. Am I saddened by her sudden departure from my life? Yes, extremely. Losing a friend is hard for everyone. But do I regret that our friendship ever happened? No... with each person you meet in life there is a lesson to be learned, and I learned many in those 4 years of knowing her. It just happened to be her time to leave my life. I wish she would have stayed longer... but everything happens for a reason. If you are reading this- you know who you are. Thank you so much, for everything and anything in my life you managed to change for the better. Maddie
