Open Letter

Disclaimer: The person's name will not be revealed. We will call her Rose.

Dear Rose,

Friendships are about having each other's back and not constantly being jealous. You were so jealous of me because I had something you didn't. A boyfriend who loved me for me. Someone who stuck by my side. I found it absolutely hilarious how you had no self control or respect for anyone else's feelings but you were the same person that expected it from everyone else. You always thought you were better than everyone. Truth is, you're not.

You always thought I was the one who changed. But you were the one who did. I saw right through you. I knew your bad intentions waaaaay before anyone else. You turned your back on me and made half of my other friends do the same with your stupid little lies. All you did was pick out my flaws. But it's whatever, I moved on.

All my "friends" tried crawling back. Including you.

Our friendship ended on a bad note. Mainly because of you. We became friends due to your breakup. You ended up dating a really good friend of mine. You started so much drama in school with his ex it was un-freaking-believable. There was absolutely no need for it what so ever. You were so toxic in my life, and every person you introduced me to was toxic. It’s such a shame that at our age now you still make up the most ridiculous excuses. You couldn't come see me because your dad wouldn't let you. Meanwhile you told me when we first met that your dad hasn't been in the picture since you were 4. It’s so upsetting that over the years you’ve made a habit out of letting me down. Nights we planned cancelled at the last minute. Days I’ve planned for us gone to waste and even shopping trips I’ve had to do alone. You never cared. But I did. I cared because I spent so much time planning days out for us. Planning little trips to the park for us. Going out to eat. Shopping. All of it. And you just blew me off like the dust on your shoulder.

You stole stuff from me. Including my money. Yeah, I saw the day you went into my wallet and took some money. I thought you actually needed it because I know your family situation is hard. But you bought fucking cigarettes and JUUL's with it. It was uncalled for. And the fact that you cared so little for how I felt about it was ridiculous.

Maybe it was all my fault. My fault for letting such a selfish, inconsiderate POS into my life. If you continue going through your life consistently letting people down for your own selfish means then you’ll have a pretty hard job keeping relationships with the people that matter most, which is why you and your boyfriend broke up.

Even though I'm home, disappointed with no plans for the summer, it's you I'm upset for.

Thank you for showing me I am so much better off without you. You're no longer a toxic friend to me. You're not even a friend. You're just toxic.

And this is not a hate letter to you, even though it should be.

But just so you know, we aren't on good, nor bad terms. We are nothing anymore.

Nor will I be even remotely sorry for making this. You are a piece of toxicity that I never wanted or needed in my life. I am so glad you're out of it.

Sincerely,

A disappointed "friend"
