How I Broke Up With My Best Friend (And Survived)

Ending things with my best friend, Jamie, was way harder than any breakup I’ve had. We’d been close for years, but lately, every hangout left me feeling drained. I started dodging her texts, blaming work and family stuff, hoping she’d get the hint. Spoiler: she didn’t. When we finally met at a quiet park, I nervously told her, “I just don’t feel happy in this friendship anymore.” She tried to talk me out of it, but I stuck to my guns. Afterward, I muted her on social media and filled my weekends with new faces and old hobbies. It wasn’t easy, but I learned that sometimes, letting go is the healthiest thing you can do—even if it feels like ripping off a Band-Aid in slow motion. 😅💔 #FriendshipBreakup #MovingOn #SelfCare
