Sorry, my schedule is a bit hectic at the moment but I really want to thank you again for your reply and I reiterate that I really appreciate your kindness and empathy ! 🌷

I am going to try to write as much as I can now, I apologize if I have to get back to you later !

Carol,

Yes, my friend did offer me some support at some time but it’s inconsistent and less frequent than before.

I did the mistake of reading our old texts again and I find that there’s a stark difference in our bond before and after she entered in a relationship. From December, she started to “forgot “to reply to my texts repeatedly, even those where I wished her a merry Christmas. And from January, I started to text less because I remember I felt like a burden.

She does not confide in me anymore, I knew almost “everything” about her old crushes but now she’s really private in her relationship.

Sometimes, I wonder if she notices how far we drifted ? I suppose it’s probably not the case as her focus is on her relationship right now. Anyway, it is what it is !

These past few days, I have been trying to see the bright side of things : at least now, she shows me that I won’t hold an important place in her life during the times where she’s in a healthy  and fulfilling relationship (it’s the first time this happens).

I admit that I am disappointed, but I am now free to redirect all my energy and focus to people who actually prioritize me and who won’t downgrade our friendship when they meet someone ?

I feel better seing it that way 🙂​
