Katie and I are no longer best friends.
It sucks, but people change. I got caught up in some bad things, and Katie became selfish and self-absorbed. We fought constantly, and now here we are. The position of my best friend is vacant, and I haven't shed a tear over it. I hope think know this best for both of us. She has a chance to make friends and experience things without someone to "drag her down", and I have the same for myself. We don't have to worry about hurting each other's feelings, and we can focus on preparing for the real world.
Not to be mean, but I really think Katie is going to have a hard time in the real world. Her parents haven't exposed her to it. In the real world, you don't take three trips a year to Disney. In the real world, you don't just skip off to the mall every weekend. No one wants to hear about your life. No one is going to give you sympathy. You're on your own, and no one is going to be there to hold your hand.
That's life.
The biggest thing Katie has to learn is forgiveness. I forgave her whenever she interrupted me. I forgave her when she asked me if I minded if she went to a different school, like she thought I wouldn't. I forgave her, because I cared about her, and I loved her like a sister.
Those days are over, I guess.
Wherever you go, Katie, I hope you know that I never stopped caring about you. You were the best friend I ever had, and after 5 long years I wish it didn't have to end like this. I wasn't supposed to end like this.
But that's life.
sad,
best friend,
