Now, after a few years, I understand that it was the end of our friendship, we simply didn't have anything in common anymore and we just grew up. And looking at her social profiles and having all those memories, today I clearly understand that I don't regret anything. She gave me huge experience then, and I'm thankful for those summers that we spent.
Right now I'm in the same situation again. I feel like my best friend isn't mine anymore. She's got new friends and new interests. And I feel that I don't know her anymore. I used to think that she's the person that I always can talk to, that I can share my fears with her and she'd always understand me. And now I can't even identify my best friend that I knew sometime in this new person. It doesn't mean that any of us is wrong in choosing friends or things to like or to do. And of course, it doesn't mean that it's someone's fault. It means that she chose another path and it's just different than mine. It means that we don't share the same interests anymore.
So, I was upset about losing my friend. But one day, somehow, I realized one very important thing. Through our whole life people come and go. We lose someone, but we also get someone. And every person that we meet is meant to be on our path. Some of them make us happy and some make us sad. But whatever they make us feel, all of them give us great experience. They just had to be here, with us, at some moments of our life. And it's okay when they leave.
I know that some of you maybe went through it already. Or some might be in that situation right now. But when I was going through it there was no one to tell me that it's ok. So I know how important is to get support and make up your mind. And it's important to me - to spread a good word to someone who needs it. And now I can tell a thing that I've learned and I know for sure: don't try to keep people. Just let them go and be thankful for what they gave you. Even if it hurts. Because it gets better, I promise it will get better.
xx, D
