Friendship break-ups hurt too

No matter how many times I learn this lesson, friendship break-ups hurt just as much as romantic ones if not more-so depending on the situation.

It hurts and the grief of it is very real.

I want to believe people can talk through conflict, can learn to forgive, to hold oneself accountable for their actions, to do better, and heavens know I try hard myself.

But we are all human beings, and we will fuck things up. This is an inevitable aspect of being a human being.

No one is perfect. No one will be able to ever say things perfectly, act perfectly how another wants it, or do anything perfectly. That is an impossible standard.

I don't believe in the one strike and you're done rule, but I'm also a fool who tends to give people infinite opportunities until my heart is shredded and bleeding.

And yet I still hope that healing is possible.

Friendship break-ups are real. The grief of that is painful. If any of you are experiencing it, know that you are seen.

You are heard. Your pain and grief is very real. It's okay to cry, to find a safe and secure place to discuss it, and it's okay to take time to recover and heal.

Grief has it's own timetable. It cannot be rushed.

Just know you're not alone in feeling it.

You are worthy of care, of being heard, of being respected, of being loved.

Take your time, and I will do my best to remember this as well.
