#ending friendships

[inksplashgirl]

Your favorite song played the other day and I skipped it because Shawn Mendes’ voice pulled on my heart.

I dreamed about you the other night and texted to ask if you were doing okay. You said you were fine.

You drove past me on the street and I waved after I waited a little too long to see if you were going to.

I miss you, but I won’t try to chase you again. By the time I had finally healed enough to try and repair our fragile good terms, the gap had widened just a little too much.

When you wanted to cauterize the would you tore in my chest I wasn’t ready. And when I was, you didn’t want to try anymore.

And that’s how friendships end.

As the melody of life plays on, friendships can harmonize or fall out of tune. Outgrowing them isn't a dissonance but a natural evolution. It's about finding new notes that resonate with the symphony of your growth, creating a composition where every connection contributes to the beautiful melody of your unfolding story.

Man, it's so fucking sad when you kinda know/can feel the time of your friendship is over.

The sense of home fading away and just "not feeling it" anymore. The sense "I don't belong here anymore" growing bigger and bigger.

It's been nice getting to know you. Bye.

I have worked on my mental health too hard, for too long, to be pulled into a toxic dynamic with someone who will not work on theirs at all.

It's sad. I want them to be safe, happy, and healthy. But when you make me feel like my mom did when she was having an episode... I gotta bounce.

A friend I considered a close friend for 7 years has said some Red flag things to me the last couple months and the recent one was telling me I'm poor because I hang around only poor people (which isn't true) and their is no way my family has any wealth, because if they did, I wouldn't be struggling financially....

Was baffled that she would automatically assume such a thing and wouldn't believe me when I told her," I have a lot siblings that are actually doing quite well and my parents are no way poor. I'm poor because I am on disability assistance through the gov and it's risky to work at all, due losing my benifits and psychosis triggers." Which I honestly believe she thinks is me making excuses.

She has never been to the US and even tells me I'm not very brave because I'm not willing to walk on the freeways to find a job in my area 😳 ....anyone in the US knows, you are out of mind for walking or riding your bike on American freeways and let's not get into public transportation, especially as a woman. Well apparently since I'm not willing to do that, I'm not ....brave or tough.

......

We have collaborated a lot creatively, but has said so much these last few months that just makes me feel like she isn't a safe individual to be close friends with anymore. I feel like majority of the time I feel like I need to explain myself to only get gaslit.

I have heard her say people are so stupid for wanting people wanting gay roles to be played by gay actors, cuz than it's not acting then. I told her "it's because representation saves lives and actually gay people would feel more authentic on screen and portray the character more realistically"....she still thought it was ridiculous and I felt really off about her after that.

She also asked me "why do you care about people that don't even know you?" Referring to when I was trying to advocate for those fighting a revolution in Iran... that showing compassion and advocating would only bring me grief....

She keeps telling me she wants me to be happy and that I have pessimistic point of view when I bring up actually real issues happening in my reality living in US and Texas. Than she says really unhelpful things like "Just move out of the US to Europe if it's so bad...."

I don't know if I'll go no contact, but I have decided to have some space from her cuz I constantly can't ignore how she does not share the same values I do... especially as a humanitarian.

I don't like to end such a long friendship, but I don't think Its benefiting me...but making decisions like this is hard.

I can't do this, I just can't

I don't like to keep around people I can't count on, but cutting them off seems wrong since they're not at their best either -

But not being able to anyhow depend on people that used to be so dear to me, whom I considered best friends... It hurts too much

I feel betrayed and with every conversation that ends up with me being ghosted I feel worse.

It's like thinking you have a friend but you actually don't.

And you have no guarantee they'll ever come back. No guarantee they'll give you any support. Ever.

Never have I had so much said about me that was wrong. Today I was accused of being tiptoed around, being an alcoholic, and intentionally disrespecting someone. When in reality I was tiptoeing around them the whole time. The one time I felt comfortable to join in a conversation I was yelled at for interrupting. So I left and didn't say another word. I was then accused of pouting and throwing a tantrum. When all I did was sit around then go take a nap. I was also accused of constantly not taking accountability for my action when my biggest peeve about this person is it is always someone else's fault. I want to step by step go through every reason he is wrong. But someone who claimed they were my friend and cared would of asked me questions in person if concerned. Not message me a day later on discord with assumption after assumption. Needless to say I said good talk. And that was all. Someone who is that set on lying to themselves and faking it with me is not worth my time. I will no longer engage in their delusions.

Maybe I love those who I feel need it. Maybe I find those who seem to be struggling and try to help them. It may hurt me but as long as I make one soul happier, I'll be okay. The way the souls of every living creature is pinched into itself and forced into black holes. It almost seems like everybody is going through a rough time and to offset my rough time, I go and love those who need it the most. But also, I don't think I know how to love. I think I just care for those who need it. I enter their life and I try to heal what I didn't break. I try and I try and I try and I try but I can't seem to do that for myself. I am my biggest hater but I am also my biggest supporter. I support myself because others wont. I support my likes and dislikes even those around me have different opinions. I can be my biggest hater but I can also be my biggest defender. I will stand for how I feel and leave if those around me make me hate myself more for what I like. I am my biggest hater and I'm my biggest enemy. My emotions drag me down a path that could be detrimental for my health. That doesn't mean I have BPD. Just because I struggle with my feelings doesn't mean I have BPD. I care for those who need it because I know I would want someone to do that for me. Don't take my heart for granted though. I tried with you two. Then I was gaslight into thinking I had BPD and made to feel bad about what I like. You needed the care and affection I gave but I regret giving it.

The person who knows Steve the most is Tommy. The party is annoyed every time they are confronted with this fact, because sure. They know Steve’s favorite songs and his hair care routine, but Tommy knows that too. He also knows that Steve is allergic to aspirin.

Nancy and Jonathan are standing in the middle of Melvin’s arguing about painkillers because neither can remember what Steve asked for, and decide to just grab one. They all do the same thing anyways, right? Wrong.

Nancy barely has the bottle off the shelf when it’s grabbed out of her hand, “Wow, Wheeler. Breaking his heart isn’t good enough? You wanna kill him now too? Get Tylenol.”

Steve calls Dustin up and is kinda whiny until he agrees to go to his house and watch movies. He doesn’t want to do this. He makes it clear that he doesn’t. Like, an hour and a half in, there’s a knock at the door.

It’s Tommy with a birthday cake that his mom made and insisted he drop off. Dustin didn’t even know it was Steve’s birthday. They’ve known each other for two years.

Tommy is roaming the shelves as Family Video, rolling his eyes about Steve befriending Eddie ‘The Freak’ Munson and a band geek and how loudly they are just dicking off at the counter. Theyre snacking on brownies Robin brought in, and then he hears a wheeze.

Then panic. Then the thump of a body on the floor. Then without even thinking, he’s pulling an epi-pen out of his pocket and jabbing it into Steve’s thigh. Of course his ‘friends’ have no idea about his peanut allergy. Of course.

Steve has the presence of mind to blurt out, “Is that expired?”

“I don’t freaking know!” Tommy snaps, and then snaps his fingers in front of Steve’s face when his eyes start to droop. “Hey, stay awake until the ambulance gets here.”

“Am’lance?”

“Yeah, the ambulance,” He says, turning to Steve’s friends. “You did call an ambulance.”

And Eddie and Robin are like, “Yes” as they slowly back up to go do that.

"There's Peace with Time"

After the war, Tomura resides in a facility where he can receive medical care and peace of mind. Even after a decade or more, Izuku still makes the effort to visit him once a week.

Based on a small thread I wrote and a small doodle of an older Shigaraki back in 2021. I still have the doodle, and I still recall the story. There's a reason it has never left my thoughts.

nbc hannibal is a romcom purely because the central conflict results from hannibal not understanding his feelings for will and being a total loser about it because he’s never had a friend or been in love before which makes him act so silly and do the most insane things that will interprets being framed for murder as hannibal having something against him (as anyone would), and this series of misunderstandings is not resolved until hannibal’s ex girlfriend and former psychiatrist tells will that hannibal is so in love with him it makes him look stupid. after that will does not hesitate to break hannibal out of jail and douse himself in blood which is this show’s equivalent to the protagonist running to the airport to stop their love interest from leaving the country and marrying someone else before they’ve had the chance to confess that they’ve loved them ever since they’ve known them
