Dear Luna,

I hope that you are well. I am glad that we agree on the importance of genuine friendship where we feel equal.  I understand what you mean by one-sided relationship. It’s very generous and kind of you that you had reached out to your friend and I find it simply rude that she didn’t show up. Maybe she couldn’t but she could have told you in advance. I really don’t know why it has become so difficult to communicate when we have all the tools of the universe.  Life worked fine – or even better – without cell phones. When we agreed with my friends that we would meet somewhere in a few days, it worked out perfectly well.  I could find streets with a paper map as well. I am not against technology but I notice some regression since we have the option to communicate so fast.  I love my Google maps and other gadgets and wonder sometimes how I could even exist without it before 🙂

Yes, you are right, we must learn from our experiences. I have realized it and learned my lessons. I still love and miss those lost friends but it was their choice to leave me, so I cannot do much about it.

I understand your dilemma about the situation.  It’s so hard. You know her very well, so just follow your gut feeling.  Maybe you could explain to her in a letter how you’ve been feeling for a while, that’s why you end the relationship.  I think it’s a respectful way of ending a long and deep friendship.

I am sure that you will take the good decision, let me know about the progress.

Hugs,

Eva
