Dear friend,
You owe no one happiness but yourself
– My mother
It isn't that I don't like you as a person. I just don't like aspects of our friendship anymore, and I need to concentrate on myself and do what makes me happy.
Even though we still are similar in some aspects we've grown apart in a lot of others.
For some time now I've just felt responsible for you in a way. Like for some reason you picked me to be your all-time-everything friend.
Which for a while I thought was really cool. You're funny, and you like cool things.
Up until recent I've never been super independent. I was a follower, who liked to follow. Which is why in the past our friendship worked so well.
You like to be in charge and make the decisions. That's not a bad thing.
As you know though for the past while I've kind of morphed into this independent and strong person that I never thought I was going to be able to be.
I never saw myself as a leader or any kind of strong person in general. Thanks to moving away from home I got to find myself and grow as a person.
While I've came a long way I still have a lot more to go. I might be older and stronger but I know I can be better.
I just don't feel like our friendship is benefitting either of us on an emotional or mental level anymore.
I just need to do more things myself and move on to a new chapter of life.
I need to take complete control and I don't think I'll be able to do that while maintaining such a large commitment to our friendship, especially because of how it's been affecting both of our daily lives.
With love.
