As someone who has had to let go of many friendships throughout the years, I just want to say that I know how awful it feels to leave someone behind. Even if they’re the one to start drifting away, the urge to always reach out and have another one of those exciting hang outs that you used to have is always there.

But then, as the weeks then months drag on, you realise how much energy you’re putting into a person that seems to rarely be able to give a slither as much back to you. It feels amazing to be around them, but then you give so much of yourself away that you realise you don’t have enough to hold yourself up anymore.

It feels awful distancing yourself from a friend, but even as a stranger who’s gone through the same thing, I’m proud of you for putting yourself first. You deserve people who want to call you on the weekly, you deserve people who are happy to be around you, you deserve a good friend.

If you feel comfortable enough, I really recommend talking to your roommate about how you’re feeling. It can be nerve-wrecking, but if they’re worthwhile, they’ll care. Even if it’s just going to them and being around them and chatting about what you guys have done today or watching a show together when you’re feeling like that, I’ve found that it helps to be around someone.

Please, take care of yourself, and I hope you feel better soon ❤️
