I am not a hater but.... Not all friendships last. Some friendships expire and no one really prepares you for the quiet way it happens.

There's no big fight. No dramatic ending, just a slow, almost invisible distance that grows between two people who once couldn't go a day without talking to each other. One day, you realize that the conversation feels different; shorter, colder or forced. And you start to wonder what have shifted in the atmosphere between you both.

It's confusing because nothing "went wrong" yet everything feels wrong.

You replay memories in your head, the laughter that came so easily, the inside jokes that no one understood, the way you both showed up for each other without keeping scores. Back then, it felt permanent, like this would last a lifetime, like nothing can ever come between you both.

But people grow. Priorities shift and sometimes the version of them you were closet to no longer exists.

That's the part that hurts the most, not just losing them but losing who they used to be to you.

You try to hold on, you make excuses for them, you tell yourself that everything will come back to how it was but you know deep down that it is over, it can't be salvaged.

And slowly, you stop reaching out the same way. Not out of pride, but out of exhaustion because you know that friendship isn't something that should be begged for.

Some friendships aren't meant to last forever. Some come into your life to teach you something, to shape you, to be exactly what you needed a certain time and leave when their purpose is fulfilled.

It doesn't erase what you once shared, it doesn't make it any less real.

It just means the chapter has ended.

And sometimes, the most painful part of growth is accepting that.

And so, you make that decision for yourself to let go and move on even while it hurts.
