Friendship Turns Sour: My Wake-Up Call

Ever notice how some friendships start to feel like a bad sitcom rerun? That was me and my old buddy, Alex. We used to laugh about everything, but lately, our conversations felt more like debates—politics, life choices, even what pizza toppings are acceptable. I’d leave our hangouts feeling drained, not energized. It hit me: we’d both changed, and not in ways that clicked anymore. I tried to ignore it, blaming work or stress, but the truth was obvious. I didn’t look forward to seeing Alex, and the effort to keep things going felt forced. So, I started pulling back, giving myself space to breathe. Turns out, I didn’t miss the drama. Sometimes, letting go is the healthiest move—even if it stings at first. Here’s to making room for friendships that actually feel good. 🥲✌️ #FriendshipBreakup #PersonalGrowth #LettingGo
