An Open Thank You Note.
To the friend who taught me the importance of emotional boundaries.
Thank you for readily accepting me and creating a space for connection. Thank You for answering my calls and offering advice even though I just wanted to be heard, I guess I should have told you that. Thank you for making comments that showed me what it looks like when insecurities go un-dealt with. Thank you for teaching me that boundaries are important outside of romantic relationships.
To the friend who gave me closure:
Thank you for introducing me as your best friend at one point in life. Thank you for always being ready to show up and go out. Thank you for getting upset with me, when I decided to use my better judgement. Thank you for showing me how it feels to have my feelings invalidated. Thank you for meeting up years later, thank you for never saying sorry.
To the friend who chose everything but me:
Thank you for all of your kind words. Thank you for listening to my story and thank you for sharing yours. Thank you for introducing me to some of my favorite strangers. Thank you for holding my drink when I had to go pee. Thank you for saying you cared. Thank you for attempting to fit me into your life. Thank you for showing me you had other priorities.
To All of You:
Thank you for showing me that some relationships are truly for a season.
