Faded Friendships…

Here I present an article on a topic suggested by a dear friend. I`m sure we all relate to this experience in some way or the other..If you`re going through something like this right now, I hope you feel better soon!

Let me know what you think through the comments and Instagram!

Friendship breakups.. a very sensitive thing that we all go through. Friendship breakups are about acceptance and letting go. But the toughest part about letting go? Realizing the other person already did.

It hurts. You’re at your lowest, you cry and try to fix it all. But what you have to realize is that no matter how hard you try, sometimes, a broken friendship stays broken even if you start talking again. However hard it might seem for your heart to accept; eventually, you have to. Why, you ask? Because in the process of mourning over lost friendships, we often forget to appreciate the ones who are rooting for us. In the process of thinking about the ones that you’re no more friends with, you feel no one loves you. But you’ve got to look around. And when you do, you’ll realize that there are so many people who genuinely love you for who you are.

You need to understand that if someone wants to walk away from your life, let them. Because if they wanted they’d put in the effort; like you did for them. Sometimes friendships fade because you grow out of them or simply because your love doesn’t feel reciprocated. Accept this gracefully.

There are so many thoughts you go through. You come across instances where you feel it’s your fault. It seems that they’re doing right by everyone but you and this pulls you into a mess of self-doubt. But believe in yourself. It’s tough; but so are you. Time changes people. They stopped caring for you but you can’t soak yourself in an emotional mess forever. Sometimes you have to give up on people. Not because you don’t care, but because they don’t.

It’s not the goodbye that hurts, but the flashbacks that follow. But hey, listen. Stop holding onto people just because you have a history together. One day you’ll look back at those memories; laughing together, crying together, and gossiping together and you’ll realise that as much as you miss them, you’re doing better now.

Things end, people change and life goes on. And eventually, with time, you too have to move on...

I wanna thank a few people who helped me through this selflessly. You know who you are <3.
