In the last few years, I have experienced many situations where I have had to let friends go. It´s always been tough, sad, and at times stressful. I will be sharing my most recent experience with you today, which happened to be the toughest mentally. We became best friends in an instant and always hung out. However, during the summer, I experienced second thoughts about our friendship. I let those thoughts go as I didn’t think much about it, and continued to be friends with this person. However, during the fall time, I started to become less happy and more stressed throughout this friendship. I knew it was becoming a problem when my family started noticing how unhappy I was as well. It became clear to me that I needed some time away, so I decided that it was best to take a break from being friends. This allowed me time to think about what was best for me and how to move forward. After a few weeks, I made the ultimate decision that it was best not to continue my friendship with this person. Do not get me wrong though because I didn´t come to this decision lightly. It took a lot of time to decide what I wanted to do. However, based on everything I went through, I knew my decision of discontinuing our friendship is what I wanted. Now looking back, I still don´t regret anything. My advice taken from this experience is if you know, you know. Don´t doubt yourself! This does not mean to ignore and dismiss your friend’s feelings. However, it is a reminder to take care of yourself and your mental health! If you are going through a similar situation, I promise you that it will get better and I understand it´s not easy. I wish you all the best.
