Over the holiday season, I lost contact with one of my closest friends. We would talk for hours at least once a week, usually on Thursdays. Despite this, the holiday season got the best of us, and who could blame either of us. With shopping, family, friends, and traveling, it is very easy to get out of the routines that we both were accustomed to. It is almost February, and I haven’t talked to my friend since the end of November. This is especially hard because I need honest and nonjudgmental advice that I know they would deliver. It hurts because we always talked and now send casual texts and instant messages. Though these are nice, they give me some connection and reassurance that our friendship exists; it is hard not being able to talk to my friend. I miss the laughter, tears, the awkward moments of silence when we had nothing to say, the intellectual discussions, talks of plans for the future, and the snarky remarks, but more importantly, I just miss my friend.
I miss my friend

I am who I say I am. The previous statement is a simple declaration of the power I have from being set free from the confines of who people wanted me to be. Today we are so consumed with how we want those around us to perceive our existence that we are not keenly aware of who we are and the value of our existence, our contributions, and our power. It is my life’s mission to allow those around me to come into their full existence and to make them understand that they matter. Through this site, I hope something touches you and makes you understand that you matter. Once you believe that you matter share your testimony so those around you will understand that they matter. Let’s continue to share until we are all liberated. View more posts

You should reach out. They probably miss you too 🙂
No sense in letting a friendship falter because you’re “too busy”. Let them know that you want to catch up.

Something similar happened to me in 2014. I had a friend like yours for 15 years. We talked everyday, texted every 5 minutes it seemed. Life happened and we both changed. Growing apart happens. I often have times when I miss them dearly. I also realize that I can’t manufacture a connection that has changed. If it is to return it will. Embrace the change and grow from it my friend. Time will tell whether this is a friendship growing pain, or a clean break.
