Is it ok if I rant?

ShadesBluer October 29th, 2016

I used to have a best friend. We talked everyday. We used to laugh together. We had inside jokes. We'd get nostalgic together. There was a decade of history between us. We made plans together. Because anything worth doing was worth doing together. My best friend was the person I loved the most in the world. And I used to be who my best friend loved more than anyone.


I understand why the romance had to end. And even made the choice to lessen the pain by putting distance between us.
So I gave up my best friend. Now I don't laugh as much as I used to. And these days, the nights are quieter. I wake up, eat, and go to sleep alone. The pain of betrayal is still there, dull, and fading a little more each day. But the persistent emptiness, underscored by the stillness and the quiet that are beginning to define me, reminds me all the more of how much I miss my best friend.

Exactly my story. I understand how difficult it is for you. But, I think sometimes walking away is the only option. You can't always be the only one fighting to save a relationship. I am really sorry to hear that you still miss your best friend. Ending such a close relationship can be really painful. I hope things will get better with time.

I'm sorry you also lost your best friend. I like to believe there's a reason for everything that happens. It keeps me hopeful to think something better is just over the horizon. Let's both find that something better! And maybe it will be someone who will fight for you when it really counts.

You have a way with words, that was beautiful and deep. It sounds like you are still grieving the loss of your friend and love and tht type of loss and pain can take time to heal. Any change in significant relationships can leave us feeling empty, like we have to redefine who we are without them and find a new normal "groove" to life. I hope you find peace soon and a new passion in life.

I've always found sadness to be beautiful. Seeing sadness in others inspires compassion. Seeing sadness in ourselves invokes soul searching and reflection. I'm glad you read my post and saw something beautiful.
