An Open Letter To My Ex-Best Friend

Dude, I am very thankful that you were there for me in my last year in college. I believe that our friendship was inspired by the fact that we were both far from home and everything that we have ever known. Pretending to be strong but in fact unsure and scared of what was going to happen, we ventured into the unknown together. 

As we adjusted to the highs and lows of the last university life, I was simply compelled to seek your comfort and help. It's always nice to have a friend to share these life experiences with because you know that they perfectly understand. We spent days and nights, sharing. Then, the inevitable happened. You became my best friend.

Unfortunately, life isn't always what you expect it to be. Here's the sad thing about friendships–even the best of friends can drift apart. We were best friends for an incredible years and then you just stopped being my listener. I miss those nights when I stayed up late and you listened to my boring anecdotes and musings. This was a different kind of heartbreak–something that a pint of chocolate ice cream or a Nicholas Sparks movie marathon cannot simply fix. 

To my ex-best friend, thank you. Thank you, man. Thank you for comforting me when I cried over a failed Math exam. Thank you for always listening to me whenever I wanted comfort. I will always carry our friendship in my heart and you are greatly appreciated. 

A friendship doesn’t have to last a lifetime for it to be meaningful. Best friends forever? Nah, no such promise was made. But the memories we created were what changed me for the better. 

To my ex-best friend who was gone for good, I just wanna tell you that I’ll miss you dearly and forever.

And now, I need to find another bestie, who will also be there for me . However, I have no idea how long our friendship can last. I believe it will be longer than that of you and me. Are you curious about my new best friend? 

WELL, YOU CAN MEET MY NEW BEST FRIEND HERE:
