Hi lovelies
So let me tell you a story about what happened to me. Not so long ago I had a best friend. And when I say best friend, I mean the kind that is like a boyfriend, the kind you do everything with. We were working together, and our contracts were about to end. I resigned before it ended due to the fact that I got acceptance into my university. I obviously saw her less because I had to adjust to my new student life. And then I got my permanent job shortly after and saw her even less. It was obviously hectic for me trying to juggle everything and I had little to no time for myself. But every time I did, I would always reach out and make sure we were still on good terms. Recently when trying to reach out I discovered that she had blocked me on all social media platforms.
It was sad, worse than a breakup. How could she throw away a friendship of 7 years without so much as a goodbye or explanation? She was supposed to be happy for me but the more things happened the more she distanced herself from me.
And I realized that she was not happy for me. She was envious of my successes. And it was never my fault that we grew apart, she just wasn’t ready to see me grow. And that is going to happen sometimes, people are going to be jealous of you. People are going to wish for your downfall but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t keep fighting.
They should be your extra motivation to keep pushing and fighting to get where you want to be. So don’t let them get you down or affect your growth.

Hey hun so I have a similar situation with my best friend of well basically all my life but what I have realized is that we all need our space to grow. Even her and don't worry too much about it, you guys will eventually start talking again and I read the comment that Teneal posted saying the red flag is you were always the one to reach out and all I can say is same. I tried really hard in the beginning but as years went by it became clear that sometimes people are just in different phases of their lives and of their growth but you will meet up again and relive the old moments and make new…
The red flag for me was when you said that YOU were always the one making sure y'all were on good terms. Friendship is a two-sided little thing. Sometimes because we have history with people we tend to hold on longer than we suppose to. This year I have realized its not how long you know the person, but the depth of understanding from both sides. Goodbyes always always hurts but if she wasn't happy for you, then girl byeeee. Keep fighting♥️
