I’ve had a few really close platonic friends in past. But circumstances changed.
One girl who was single, ended up getting married and never talked to me again. I apparently was just there to help her cope and fill a void.

Another girl who was married, ended up having a kid and never talked to me again cuz her life got crazy and she basically didn’t have time for me anymore.

And the last female friend I had was probably the most amazing friendship I’ve ever had, she was already married, we were friends for like 4 years. She had a change of heart and decided it would be best for us to just keep in touch from time to time and not talk as much, limit the things we talk about etc. we went from these deep seeded intellectual conversations to total surface convos.
Like how’s the weather over there?
We couldn’t talk about feelings, emotions or anything that was happening in each others lives….it was very odd. It almost became robotic like I was talking to AI. To this day, I have no idea what truly happened. Part of me thinks she just ended up replacing me with a tangible friend.

She told me she needed to figure some things out with her life, so I respected her wishes and just told her I would just wait for her to take the initiative and reach out to me whenever she wanted to talk or catch up……she agreed and I never heard from her again….. it’s been almost 4 years now.

So I haven’t had the greatest success in making and maintaining friendships, they always seem to leave me in the end.

It’s so strange how close we were and how far we drifted apart.….part of me wishes I knew exactly what happened but another part me doesn’t really care. I just need to accept the reality of the situation and embrace the memories.

Don’t be sad it’s over…. Just be happy that it happened.
