" The force of selfishness is as inevitable and as calculable as the force of gravitation. "

Dear faceless girl who used to be my best friend

You're selfish.  Constantly, I found myself defending you or trying to explain the motives behind your actions.  Stressing over what people thought about my best friend and why.  I see now what those people were thinking and why, and I'm glad I've moved on from the chapter in my life that involved you.

You're self-involved, immature, and lazy.  You don't care about anyone but yourself and at this point, I think you never will.  I'm not really sure where you learned to be such a selfish bitch, because you have wonderful parents and siblings.  I'm sad to see that your sweet niece is going to have to grow up around you.  Hopefully, she'll learn how not to act by watching you.  I'm simply astounded by the fact that you are eighteen years old and still in the tenth grade; not because you honestly don't know the material or because you are stupid, but simply because you are lazy.

I don't know how I didn't see how much you took me and your other friends for granted...  Constantly using us, and not thinking of it as a friendship as much as people you could get something from.

But now I think it is not so much as bad luck that got me locked up and taken away from my 'friends' as much as God scooping me up and setting me on the right path.  Even though I was locked up for a year and you weren't, I still ended up with a better life than you did.  I have a wonderful boyfriend who loves me, you're alone.  I am about to start my second semester of college, and you're working in fast food as an eighteen year old high school drop out.  I have friends who love me, and yours have all left your side because just like me, they see you for what you really are now.

I have but one thing to thank you for...  Thank you for teaching me what a real friend isn't.
