My Best Bro Turns Into a Total Stranger

Ever had your ride-or-die suddenly turn into someone you barely recognize? That was me and Mike. We used to hit up the gym together, talk trash over video games, and laugh about the dumbest stuff. Then, out of nowhere, he started acting cold—making jokes at my expense in front of the crew, like I was just background noise. At first, I thought maybe he was just having a rough week, but then I heard he was talking smack about me behind my back. Ouch. I tried to talk it out, but every word felt like stepping on a landmine. So, I decided to just let it go—no dramatic blow-up, just a quiet exit from our late-night chats. Now, when I see him at the gym, I just nod and keep moving. Sometimes, the real power move is choosing your own peace over pointless drama. 😏✌️ #FriendshipDrama #LettingGo #ChoosePeace
