Best Friend Moves Away: Surviving the Goodbye
The day I found out my best friend, Jamie, was moving across the country, I thought my world was ending. I mean, who else would laugh at my terrible jokes or binge-watch bad reality TV with me? But as much as I wanted to throw a dramatic fit, I realized Jamie was probably more stressed than I was—packing, saying goodbye, starting over. So, I decided to be the supportive friend (even if my heart was breaking).
We made memories—photos, silly videos, even a playlist of our favorite songs. I hosted a small goodbye party, and yes, there were tears, but also a lot of laughter. After Jamie left, I let myself feel sad, but I also reached out to other friends and picked up new hobbies. We text and video call, and honestly, sometimes it feels like nothing has changed. Long-distance friendship is weird, but it’s totally possible. If you’re going through this, trust me, you’ll survive—and maybe even grow. 💌😭✨
