A Sad Ending

A long friendship came to an end today. I blogged about it earlier and now it’s final. I knew it was coming however, I was hoping for the best.

I am sad it came to this. This person has been in/out of my life since I was just 21 years old. I’ve always tried to help him better himself. He doesn’t see it that way. He sees me now as arrogant, stuck-up, and pretentious. My perspective is I just grew up.

We’ve been down this road so many times I just don’t see the point of trying anymore. I don’t think a friendship should be forced. I don’t think it should be a constant struggle to be someone’s friend. I don’t care anymore if I’m right or wrong. I’m just sad. Sad that I lost a friend that I’ve considered a brother for a long time. Sad that he never saw it that way. And sad that there will be an empty place in my life where he used to be.
