its been so long since my very last and I'm so inactive to a point that this is the second post for this year so much has happened throughout the year and I honestly can't wait for this year to end,
cause this year has been extremely emotionally and mentally challenging
here I am again continuing this after I stopped the previous paragraph since last week
for some reason
I need a lot of mental preparation to write this
and this is probably gonna be the most depressing blog I've ever written ha-ha!
coming back,
I've made a decision on letting go 2 different friendships
friendships that I can't see myself holding on in the long run
and sometimes
I question myself if I'm asking too much
but then I also don't get how some people just don't care
I got into university thinking I wouldn't grow attachment on anyone if possible
knowing the fact that I'm pretty scared of getting hurt from being ditched by them someday
or maybe they would just no longer contact you after graduation day
but still,
I somehow got attached to this friend whom I thought we would stick around on a 24/7 basis,
go through uni shit together and many more
and which we did, but only for a certain period after we got close till she got into a relationship
I remember at the beginning stage of the relationship,
everybody was teasing me about how she's gonna eventually leave
not gonna lie it kinda hurts
though I acted as if I was okay with it and was constantly denying on her behalf
thinking that she would never do that
guess what disappoints me the most is when of all people,
she decided to prove me wrong about not ditching me over her new relationship
and what hurts the most is when I'm putting effort into maintaining their relationship
but it doesn't seem like she's putting the effort into keeping our friendship
but I'm under no obligation to tell her about my disappointment cause it's her choice anyways
I learned my lesson from any of the previous friendships that had the same issue
and not to try defend them in order to keep the friendship
what's ironic is when for a matter of fact you're being told certain things
and you wish you could tell the person involved
but then you're not so sure of the outcome/ consequences
and that made me felt extremely guilty
I've experience things like being honest towards a couple
but I got stabbed back
and that haunt me quite a bit till today
therefore I'm very aware of what might/ would happen with my acts
this time,
I feel like it's time to let go
there's probably both sides of the story
and I wouldn't be able to know it all
but one thing's for sure is that
I genuinely adored this friendship
to a point it hurts way more than a fucking break up
the amount of things that we have done for each other
what we have told each other
I remember them all
and that's what hurts most I guess
remembering what used to be and realizing everything is non of the ones said today

speaking of my other friendship
we have been friends for half a decade if not more
started off with so many interest and mindset in common
we vibe well, really well
we ran the school events and activities so much together
we had so many things we would wanna do together
but we eventually drifted away from each other ever since she went to college
we just grew apart
mentally, emotionally and physically
it came to a point where we no longer hangout
we eventually differed mentally
we had different opinions on certain topics
we were against each other's idea at some point
and then we just stopped talking
and from the last time I actually met her at an event
it was so awkward even saying hi to her
that's when i knew i lost her
as a friend
this is the friendship I didn't see myself losing
despite the quarrels we might have had back then
we knew for a fact that we would still hangout in the future
our childhood idols used to be best friends
and that partially got us together
we had so much to talk about
remembering back then when we used to meet each other 24/7
sleepovers at each other's place
both decided to screw their grades cause we just love organizing events a lil way too much
we love travel, music, sometimes reading
we see ourselves in each other
we dream the same thing
and that's just how we were
and I loved it
it's sad losing these friendships
but I know somehow I won't be able to keep it
just because we no longer vibe the same thing
we don't talk the same language in mind
we no longer get excited seeing each other
we don't understand each other anymore
or at least
we no longer try
I've tried 2 different approaches
and I honestly have no idea which works better
cause it seems to be the same for me
I still lost it
and all I hope now is that
the ones I still hold dearly
remains and stay
friends hold a huge part of my life
sometimes a lil too much
but I hold everyone in my life dearly
just because they deserve the love that they give
and I hope whoever who's reading this
always remember that
take care of the ones that you love,
but take even better care of the ones that love you
till next time,
love, cla xx
