Life Friendship

“I’d never felt before like maybe we'd outgrown each other. Like maybe Mike was someone I wouldn't have liked today if I hadn't known him as long as I had. I kept hanging on to who Mike was for me in a previous life, ignoring who he was now, and I was tired of trying to cling to that. We're fed the narrative that you never give up on the ones you love. And I did love Mike. But it wasn't my job to hold him up while he decided if he wanted to stand or not. To scream at him to change until I lost my voice. I felt done.”
