You’re not alone Spiritflower. I had a friend who was pretty religious. Keep it mind that I’m not against religion; I just don’t think it needs to guide your entire life. We were very good friends in high school, and then I had a phone convo with her about her beliefs but didn’t want to listen or I didn’t want to talk about it anymore. We actually saw each other recently downtown, and I tried to reconcile with her, but she said she didn’t have to talk to me. The point of this story is that sometimes people grow apart. I’m sure your friendship was special, but it’s time to let go. You have to let go of others, whether it’s due to a bad relationship or a friendship ending on its own course. There will probably be times when you want to reminisce and reconnect with your best friend, but again, you have to leave the past behind you. Perhaps it’s a blessing in disguise.
