Yesterday I sat down and enjoyed my cup of coffee at my favorite cafe. Across from me sat one of my ex best friends.
Ex best friends hurt more than ex boy friends. In my opinion. The ex best friend has watched every tear fall along with the best laughs. They have heard every story about the boy friend and the ex boy friend. They curl up and watch movies while sharing pop corn. There is something special when you have an incredible best friend. Mary was mine.
Mary and I had a sort of falling out after a few years of friendship. She began saying things behind my back to one of my other good friends (who I introduced her to). This then began ruining the other friend and my relationship. The other friend has now confronted me and well the things she told them was false. This hurts even more.
Anyways…back to my cup of coffee. We decided to meet up because life is rough and well we’re used to leaning on each other. These few hours we spent talking was a process. It was awkward at first then slowly we got into the details of our lives so far and…well…it ended with a long hug. I would not say we are back to normal. Because that is a longer process. But, we are on that path. Last night I finally fell asleep with a smile on my face because of the power of a good night text. Yes, Mary sent a good night text with our usual emojis.
I am still hurt by the things she did. I am trying to work past them, but only time will tell.
So, if you have a best friend that you had a falling out with, I suggest you try and reach out to them. If the feeling is mutual, then there is a possibility your friendship can start again. I know it isn’t easy, but a candle cannot be lit without someone striking a match.
XOXO,
Cece
