Sometimes friendship breakups hurt a lot more than relationship ones. You lose a person that was here for you, with whom you lived through moments that shaped you and with whom you had a rare connection. One that made you want to see this person outside of the environment in which you initially met. One that meant there was something to explore. One that now means nothing.
Breaking up with a best friend means that you are turning a page of your life. It means that you are separating the time when you hung out with that person from now. The person who lived through all the relationships you ever had and outlasted them all ironically becomes one of these relations which simply fade away.
It's hard. Ending a close friendship implies a sudden feeling of loneliness afterwards. If even the person whom I thought was the closest someone has ever been to me ends up disappearing from my life, then is something wrong with me? Will I ever have such a bond with anyone else? Will I be able to replace them by someone better? Many questions emerge from heartache and this situation is no different.
Sadness, self-questioning maybe anger... maybe regret. How emotionally draining are these processes of building and destroying bonds with one another !
Everything eventually fades into time. A new face, a new connection and a new friendship... it is possible to come across all of these things as life progresses. Breaking up with a best friend sucks and the only solution is to keep moving forward. Tears from one friend will turn into laughter with another. The key is to have faith in the future and the amazing people you know you will meet along the way.
