Letting Go

How does one let go of someone that you've been friends with for nearly 30 years? I find it odd that someone you used to tell your every thought to is now like a stranger to you. How does this happen? I know life gets busy and there is just not enough time in one single day to cram everything in that you want, but it still baffles me.  So I am doing what I need to and just letting go. I'm tired of holding on to something when it's obvious I'm the only one holding on. If I am nothing more than an after thought why should I kill myself trying to keep a dying friendship alive on life support? I have decided to focus my efforts on other things and people who want me in their life. Maybe this is life's way of teaching me to be truly independent and to just trust my own instincts and make my own choices based on what I think and what is best for me. I hate being let down, but maybe it's just time. So goodbye ole friend. I wish you well! I wish you love, happiness and health and above all I wish for you to find the best person to be in your life right now to help you and make you feel appreciated. I'm sorry it couldn't have been me. 

Now to close the door and walk around in the dark for a while until I find the light switch that leads me to find myself as me and me alone. 

Hello beautiful! Welcome to the next phase of your adult life! Buckle up because it's bumpy, but don't worry. I have faith in you that you'll make it in this world. You'll be just fine! Wait and see!
