#friendship ending

[lyonn-avery]

"Reflecting on the past as I say goodbye to a relationship that once meant so much to me. This bond taught me that holding onto someone too tightly could cause it to crumble before my eyes. I realize that my favorite and comfort person could just leave without warning, and I'm grateful for the moments we shared together. Thanking her for being my number one at the time and showing me the value of letting go. Reflecting on the past relationships I've had helps me grow and appreciate the value of present bonds and connections."

Second part and woo that feels good, you know finally putting my thoughts together and no longer hating myself over it.

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

I did it again

Fell into the trap

It lasted longer then normal

A full year and a half

Except this time I know I'm not to blame

Why would I be?

I keep fighting for this friendship

And you never do

You don't want to be friends as much as I do

And I understand that now

At first I blamed myself

Thought I made you leave me

Then I thought I was crazy

That you truly were my friend

Then you made it clear where your priorities laid

And how much you truly wanted to be friends

And I was pissed

How could you lie to me like that?

How could you use me like that?

Why don't you care about me?

Finally, currently

I'm done

I don't know how you feel

I can't tell why you act like this

But I can decide to be done with your games

And you treating me like I'm a last resort

We were supposed to be best friends

When did that turn into strangers

Strangers who had nicknames for each other,

Or was that just me too

Cause I don't remember a time where you cared enough to give me one,

Just one

For the millions I gave you,

No,

Your family friend gave me my first nickname,

One that I didn't hate,

And you didn't even use that.

Maybe that was where I should've realized the truth,

That me and you weren't friends,

We were people who wanted to have people to be close with,

Only it didn't matter who for you,

But I chose you

And I hate myself for it.

But it wasn't my fault

And I don't want to blame you

But I know that I walk through life alone,

I don't care anymore though,

Because I'll keep being me,

I refuse to change,

And I'll keep telling the stories that I made with you,

You and me aren't anything,

After this,

I'll be free of anything you did,

Unknowingly or not,

That made me feel like a lesser person,

Thank you for the memories and happiness in the good moments,

But I'll be done with you starting now

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

I hope anyone who remotely felt similar to the first poem somehow moves on because living and thinking like that is something that only hurts you. And it destroys your happiness and what you think of yourself. Because whether you want it to happen or not there will be a breaking point and as little as it may seem all the other things come to light at the same time, and you will get better and become happy again. No doubt, just make your peace and it'll happen.

The recent Heart break although not so recent, is my long distance “best friend” just basically ghosted me without closure. And it’s been almost a year tommorrow since I said a “how are you” and no message back. You know what i am okay. It’s okay! I am living with it well, I am starting to see it for what it is. I will never know what caused her to not explain her ghosting me. We have a relatively healthy friendship it was my first healthy friendship. She was my best friend I genuinely thought that. But my best friend wouldn’t throw me away like that, i don’t try to come up with theories I just simple believe we have grown apart. We talked everyday for 3 years we made it work she put so much energy and effort and consistency. But I am not gonna even try at this point to come up with idea why I didn’t deserve an explanation. It is a coward move considering we had such a honest friendship but that doesn’t apply anymore. Not any more, anyways. A no-answer is an answer, and there is a part of me that wishes her well. But the hurt side of me is hoping that she still thinks about me, I jsut want to believe. But one gone friend doesn’t matter I still have other friends who actually are putting effort into our friendship! They matter more. With this hurt I just transform it into grateful for the people who had stayed and remain consistent! Everything happens for the best!

the ending of friendship

Why does ending a friendship hurt more sometimes than a breakup? Why does it leave us questioning everything? Why are there times when it doesn’t hurt at all? 

Friends are people that you collect throughout your life, there’s an old saying “you have friends for a reason, a season or for life”. You want to believe that everyone you meet will be your friend forever but sadly that isn’t the case some people you meet will and some will just use you until they don’t need you anymore, even 20 + year friendship end, the secret to good friendships is knowing which ones to nurture and which ones to let go.  Friends a bit like plants, you nature them all and soon enough you’ll see which ones grow and will be around forever and which ones are the weeds who will suck all the nutrients out of the soil and leave you dry.  

True friends, soul sisters, your person, whatever you want to call them are rare and you want to hold on tight to these, these are the people that you can call no matter what, they are ones who will celebrate your wins and good times, be with you through the tough times, will listen on the phone or will hold you while you cry, will always call you out on your crap, will bail you out of jail and will help you bury the body. No matter what you tell them they stay their friendship never waivers and their love for you never changes. 

What happens when someone you thought was your best friend for 20+ years is no longer your friend, you begin to doubt yourself, you continually questions and overthink, you wonder what you did or said that made them pull away. Let me tell you  IT IS NOT YOU.  You have did not do anything wrong, it was just that this friendship was not meant to last and it was only one for a season, when the season changed so did you and so did they and that’s ok, yes it still hurts, yes It still makes you question everything but its ok to look back and remember the good times.

I recently experienced this, a few years ago my ex-best friend got married, I was so excited that I didn’t think anything when the snide comments were being made about me being single and not being able to bring a date to the wedding because a) I wouldn’t ever find anyone who would want to go with me,  b) I would be to busy helping said bride on her wedding day. I should have known something was up but I chose to ignore it.  When the wedding RSVP came I was not allowed plus one, ummm ok, also I was asked to be the MOH while were all out dressing shopping for her dress and I wasn’t even asked I was more so told by the way your the MOH, at that point what do you say, ok thank you, what else is there to say, Everything up to the wedding day was not the smoothest sailing but with her and the new in laws it was to be expected.  I knew the night before her wedding that the next day would be the end of our friendship, she was getting married  and joining that club she didn’t need me anymore the constant single person. So the wedding day came and went, forced wedding pictures were taken (which I still haven’t seen to this day) the reception was held, speeches were made and in a room full of people I knew, I felt lonelier then ever. I cleaned up the hall and left by 11:30 without even a thank you. After the wedding I heard from her only when she needed something from me, we maybe hung out once when her husband went away and it was awkward, every time since then whenever I see her I ask the normal polite questions you ask but she never asks anything about my life and its ok. Does it hurt that she can’t be bothered to ask about my life yes, but I’ve realized that, that is who she is and that at the end of the day.

I’m grateful for that time we had as friends we went through a lot, but at the end of the day I am so lucky to have such a great group of true friends who know me, know my dark twisted secrets and still stay, even with 2000km between us we are still the same best friends that we have always been, this group of girls has been there for me through it all, some longer then other but time means nothing, wether its 2 years or 20 years of friendship they are my people, my soul sisters and I am a better person for knowing them and having them in my life.

[mental-health-advice]

Hey. I used to have a friend I was really close to and considered my best friend, and then one day they decided to cut all ties with me and tell me we had never been friends. It set me into a depressive episode that lasted eight or nine months, I isolated myself from everyone else believing if they weren't my friend then I couldn't trust that anyone was, and a couple of traumatic things happened while I was already down so it culminated in a suicide attempt. I am now a lot better than I was, it has been a few years, I have built a life for myself and I am happy. But sometimes I still wonder what happened with that friendship, I feel like I never got closure and I want to reach out and see how that person's life is now and ask what happened and why they did what they did. Sometimes I get obsessed with this thought for a while and then force myself to move on. Would it really be a bad idea to reach out after all this time? Or how can I forget about it?

Hey there,

It must have been such a shock to you for this friend to suddenly cut all ties with you for no apparent reason and then to tell you that you guys were never friends to begin with! I am so sorry that you had to go through this but please know that there are some really good people out there, some of which you will have friendships with and they will not treat you like this and make you feel so bad.

I am so happy to hear that you are doing better now and have been able to move on as best you can. But I do know that the lingering thought of what happened with that friend, why they did what they did to you and what their life looks like now is still and probably always be there on your mind.

I guess the main priority though is you and your happiness and safety. So for example, if you did reach out to this friend, how would you feel or may react if they want nothing to do with you or hurt you all over again? Yes, several years may have passed and hopefully they are doing better, but there is always the off chance that they may re trigger you and your depression. So this is definitely something you need to take into consideration. I am not saying that reaching out to them will be a bad thing but it may be really helpful for you to think about each outcome that could possibly happen from reaching out and how this may make you feel and the best ways you may be able to get through it and especially if it doesn’t go so well. Just something to think about!

If you choose to just let things just be though and try to move on completely/ forget them, this can be a lot easier said than done. I say this because regardless of the bitter ending to the friendship, the time you guys spent together will have had some impact on your life and helped to form who you are today, and this isn’t something you can just forget about. By focusing on the here and now though, focusing on today and your future, then moving on may be that much easier for you.

I really hope that this has helped a bit and please do let us know if we can help to support you in any other way!

I’m thinking of you and hope that you are going well!

Take care,

Lauren

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.

played pm64 and ttyd back to back... these games mean so much to meeeee

[ghostdrinkssoup]

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

THE CHEMISTRY!

No hug, sadly, but if we bully Disney hard enough... Maybe

Kevin died, Eli. And Tommy didn't.. because of you.

I always find it strange when people lament that Rayla and Callum don't have much in common (implying they're a bad ship) when, to me, they're one of the most realistic portrayal of friends and lovers I've seen across various genres.

They very clearly enjoy each other's company. They have a similar quirky style of gallows humour. They like teasing each other, and they bounce ideas off each other. They fiercely love and care for their friends and family.

I mean, Callum just randomly starts spouting poetry at her, and does Rayla make fun of him or make him feel weird or self-conscious? Nope. She not only knows what he's talking about, she engages with it.

I suppose on the surface they don't have much in common. Callum loves his books and research, and Rayla’s more action orientated, but once you dig deeper, the foundation of their relationship is built on mutual admiration and respect.

And that is what's important. That's what long-lasting relationships are built on.

Your partner may not have the same taste in books or activities as you, but do they still engage with you about your interests? Do they support you indulging in them or spending time doing them? Do they respect you and your differences?

That love and support is what stands the test of time.
