Many things happen in life that makes you an emotionally stronger person, and ending a friendship is one of them. You know when you and your friends say that you'll always be friends forever, well that turned out to be a lie for me. I remember the most recent times I've lost a friend for whatever reason, but either one of us could have been the one to blame. I felt sad about one of them because of the reason why it happened, and not being close with them anymore. During the other time I actually felt relieved that we weren't friends, because I wanted to tell them for a while. I know I shouldn't be talking about other people but they were the worst, and I'm happier without them. Although I miss one of my friends, I still know that it's over and our friendship had been great while it lasted, because we used to be best friends. There are many different reasons a friendship could end, and it makes you feel something inside, but in the end you will learn from your experiences and grow.
    

There were different reasons why this “friend” and I ended our friendship, and I think that it definitely made my life easier. I don't actually remember every single detail about that incident, but I can see it in my mind. From what I can remember the whole experience had been dramatic, and I'm glad that we aren't friends anymore. We were both in Spanish class and I tried to stay away from her as much as possible, but she kept on bugging me, so I completely ignored her. She seemed pretty upset, so she started making up gossip to my other friends and she made me frustrated, because they were all ridiculous lies. I talked to my other friend and she told me to ignore her, and tell her that I didn't want to be her friend. That made her even more angry so she made up even more lies and made fun of my friends, so I told her that I hated her, and she swore at me. Instead of getting mad at her I just laughed, because her opinions didn't matter to me anymore, and she acted immature. Since that all went down we haven't talked to each other, about it, but she still gives me dirty looks now and then. Overall I'm happy that I don't have to deal someone who hurts other people's feelings just to make themselves feel happy, because that's just rude.
    

This second friend of mine and I haven't talked to each other in a long time, and I'm not sure if we are friends anymore. It's been weeks and we haven't had a full conversation yet, but we've distance ourselves for some reason. I'm confused about the whole situation, but I'm confident that she doesn't want to be friends anymore. As time went by, I knew something changed between us, and I could sense that she had been drifting away, but I just didn't know why. I feel very awful because we used to be best friends, and we would always say that we would be best friends forever. I don't know if it's my fault that we never talk to each other, but she seems the same without me being her friend. If she tells me that my thoughts are correct I know I'll be fine, because I'll tell her I understand even if I actually don't. All I want is for ou friendship to be fixed and then I'll feel better, but there's a small chance of that happening. I'm just upset that I don't know why this is happening, and I always thought that we would be best friends for a long time, but life has its obstacles. It's just that this obstacle is one of the hardest for me to actually overcome, but I did.
    

There were different ways I overcame these two times a friendship ended, and I think that these two incidents helped me become a stronger person. For the first one I mentioned had been easy for me to overcome, because I don't have their negativity with me anymore. I just keep my distance from her, because I don't want to be involved in her life anymore and she's not involved in mine. For my second friend it has been harder, because there's a possibility of working things out, but then there's a chance of ending everything. I just try to forget about them by thinking about my other friends and shutting out the world with music, and that works the best. While I listen to music, I think about the great memories in my life, because music is my outfit and it helps me throughout everything. I appreciate the friends that I have now, because I can count on them, and they're loyal and trustworthy. If I have something important to talk about I tell my friends, because they give great advice for me, most of the time. This is how I've overcome losing two friends, and what I've done to feel better and move on.
    

As I said before, life has its obstacles that are big and small, but there's always a way to get through every single one of them, it just takes time. Sure, the first time had been the easiest, because I've always disliked her, but the second time had just been difficult. I thought that friends didn't matter anymore, because they'll eventually leave you, but I'm wrong about that. Friends are important to have in your life, and they might leave you, but then they might stick with you until the end. I have one friend that I have been with since the fifth grade, and I'm glad that he hadn't left me in the dust. I also have another friend that is also loyal, but he can be rude at times, yet he makes up for it. I understand that nobody's perfect, but the people I'm close with are still awesome to have around, and I would never leave them behind. I've learned many lessons about life throughout the close friends and family in my life, and if I lose them I know I will be strong enough to overcome that kind of loss. It will be hard to give up, but as time goes by you will learn to let go of them, because life will get better.
