Hello everyone,
Friendship is sweet, but sometimes it gets bitter I never believed I would be the one to end a friendship but life happens and people change yes, I have ended a friendship before it wasn’t easy but I had to the person I ended the friendship with used to be very close to me like a sister we did everything together, shared secrets, supported each other and even cried together i don’t want to mention her name, but she was someone I trusted so much.
Everything started changing when I noticed she was no longer happy for me anytime something good happened in my life she would pretend to be excited, but deep down I could feel that she wasn’t really happy she would make small sarcastic comments like you self don dey feel important now at first, I ignored it and gave excuses for her behavior, thinking maybe she was just going through something but it got worse when she started talking behind my back and twisting my words with other people. Someone who used to be my biggest cheerleader became the person pulling me down quietly i heard things she said about me from people we both knew, and honestly, it broke my heart.
One day, I confronted her about it thinking we could fix things. But instead of explaining or apologizing, she laughed it off and called me too sensitive that was the moment I knew that I had to let go i didn’t insult her or create drama I just stepped back slowly and cut communication I stopped calling, texting, or sharing anything personal.
Till today, I still think about it sometimes did I do the right thing? Honestly, yes I believe I did i have learned that peace is more important than pretending to keep a friendship that no longer brings joy not every friend is meant to stay forever some are just there for a season but I’ll be honest, there are days I miss our good times i remember how we used to laugh go out together, and dream big so yes, I have small regrets not because I ended it but because I wish it never had to get to that point I wish we had grown together instead of growing apart.
What i have learned is that friendship should feel safe it should not make you feel small or doubted. And if a friendship starts draining you emotionally, it’s okay to walk away even if it hurts protecting your peace doesn’t mean you’re wicked It means you value yourself too.
Now, I surround myself with people who love me for real, not out of convenience or competition life is short be with people who bring light, not those who make you question your worth.
