Reading this couldn’t have come at a better time for me, as I am preparing to move to London, UK at the end of this month. I am finding very sadly, that certain friendships of long-standing that I have had with others will perhaps, not survive my move. This is heartbreaking to me, but at the same time after reading your wise words, here, I realize that in fact, perhaps I have overestimated my importance within these friendships, and the belief that the love care and concern was equitable. It hurts like hell and I feel absolutely gutted by the stark reality of it all. At the same time though maybe just maybe this is a brand new start and a brand new chapter with brand new people if only I can keep my heart open and not let the emotional pain and hurt overwhelm me 💔
