How My Friend and I Outgrew Each Other
Hi!
In today's post, I want to talk about outgrowing friends. I feel like in quarantine many teens (even adults) have outgrown friends because of the sudden change of everything and I want to share an experience I had with a friend, from being best friends to not talking anymore.
I want to type this blog post to show other teens that it's okay to outgrow people and I want to share my experience with outgrowing a friend.

I want to type this blog post to show other teens that it's okay to outgrow people and I want to share my experience with outgrowing a friend.
our friendship
My friend and I were close friends for quite a few years before all this happened. We had the same interests, talked to each other about personal things and we were close, even after I started homeschooling, our friendship was still strong.
I enjoyed being friends with her because she was one of those four-leaf clover friends, who you can share things with and trust. We had a wonderful time together in school and sat together at lunchtime. We were close.
how we outgrew each other & how i felt
Eventually, we both lead different lives and saw less of each other, and drifted further and further apart.
We've been living different lives, like, she goes to school every day but I stay at home and do school, while in the past I would also go to school and we would spend the whole day together. We both started changing and maturing into different people and I think that's what made us outgrow each other.
When things started changing I remember being sad about it and realizing that our friendship isn't going to be the same and that we are never going to be close the way we were before.
We would talk less and less each week. Eventually, I realized we were changing and growing and that we didn't put in any effort to spend time together or to chat. After a while of I've decided to let go of her and our friendship.
where we are now & what i've learned
Right now, we rarely talk but we're okay with each other. There are no mean feelings between us which I'm grateful for. Neither of us did something that cost our friendship, we just changed and matured which made us outgrow each other.
The things I learned from this experience is, a true friendship is when you and a friend don't talk for years at a time but when you talk and hang out again it's like nothing changed between you two. Many people need to talk to you each day or feel like they need to hang out frequently and when you say no, they're mad about it. So when you see them again, you have nothing to talk about and it feels like you don't know them anymore.
Our friendship wasn't going anywhere and after I let go of our friendship I've moved on with my life and I'm in a good place. I'm happy and doing well, with friends that mean the world to me.
I'm sure she's also in a good place in her life and that she's also doing well. Maybe we were never made to be friends but are grateful for the close friendship we had.
