Dear Old Friend,

That night that I was curled up in a ball crying on my bed, I thought my life would never be the same again. I didn't know how I could be happy without my best friend. I thought I would miss you horribly and that I would be lonely all the time.

The truth is, I don't miss you. I don't miss you at all. In fact, I'm glad we aren't friends anymore. Instead of having the shallow, insecure relationship that we constantly shared, my life is now full of joy and I have never been happier. My friends now have a deeper meaning in my life. We are family, not just friends. We can discuss the deepest things as well as just playing around. I would never trade the relationships I have now to get you back in my life.

Someday you will feel that joy as well. Someday you will realize how much more full your life can be. I hope you find all that out soon. I don't want you to waste your life away in this shallow, immature stage that you are in, but that's your life and you gave me, your "best friend", up so that you could live that life. I hope you got what you truly wanted because I know that I got more than I could've ever hoped for. I lost one friend, but gained the best people I could possibly have asked for in my life.

Goodbye old friend. Enjoy the shallow, barren existence that you attempt to fill your life with.

-Karen
