Spring Cleaning: My Life

I'm really into writing letters. My Diary has letters written to so many people and things. I find it easier to be brutally honest if I'm addressing someone directly throughout my thought process. So this letter is to Friends and Friendships and I'm writing this letter with a few people in mind. This comes from a place of ''someone has to do it, let's not drag one another along''.

Dear Friend

Maybe I know you for years

Months or A Bunch of Days

And perhaps that has influenced how long I have kept you around

Or how long you have kept me around

But its really time to hang up the 

Forced Belly Laughs

The strained lunch Dates

and the Nicknames. 

We've changed

Or we haven't changed at all 

Maybe the same things in our lives have reached degrees of varying importance

Let's rather swap this effort- filled friendship for a polite hello in the mall than a

awkward wave or hostile glance at a mutual friend's party

Let's not have a Facebook war about #you've changed status's

I'm not angry at you 

I left that with your cancelled plans and the fact that you talk only about you

And its not that I don't want to listen to your yet another crisis 

Or even that you need to listen to mine  

It's just that I don't even know your dreams or your heartbreak

I don't know what you struggle with and the thing you most proud of. 

Why do I need to know the latest gossip in your life that's ever- changing 

But I don't even know you. 

Sincerely. 

Your retired friend
