Walking Away

I’ve recently gotten my heart broken. Not by a boy, but by a friend and to tell you the truth that is more painful than being dumped by a high school boyfriend. Being friends with someone, getting close to them and eventually watching them walk away hurts like hell. It’s the kind of pain that doesnt sting but burns in parts of your heart that you didn’t know you could feel. All the jokes, all the late night ice cream conversations, all the drives to the middle of no where with the windows down and music blaring… suddenly taken away in an instant and guess what? It sucks. You wont know how to handle it for a while but then one day you’ll stand up, shake it off and move on. You’ll find a way to accept the fact and walk away stronger than you were before. I’ve had people come and go in my life and while I truly miss them and wish them the absolute best, I know they left for a reason. If they were truly made to be friends with me I wouldnt even be writing this. I know I am an odd person and at times I am difficult to be around but I try my best and thats all anyone can be. I have to learn to walk away. I will always have pieces of those friends in my heart but I know for my own well being it is best to take my own path and who knows? Maybe they were meant to leave my life so I can meet new people who are even more amazing. Who will want all of the same things but only this time they wont walk away. I can’t read minds or see into the future but I know that I will find those people and I know when I do it’ll make my life so much sweeter.
