To the friends who stick to us in our heart breaks....

I think we’re all guilty of this. We never really gave much significance for the impact our best friends have on each other’s lives during those times of heartache.

We knew we had shoulders to cry on and we had company to keep when we needed it most, but we never really considered much of anything else past him. Yes, him. The guy that broke our heart.

We all have that guy. Whenever we think of our heartbreak, our minds immediately direct our thoughts to him. We look back on those dark days and limit ourselves into thinking that he was the salve to our broken hearts. That only he could fill those gaps and make us whole again.

And though that may hold true in some aspects, I want to recognize our friends, too. When he left, it was them who had to deal with what was left of the broken pieces. And although we may not have found the perfect formula to glue our hearts back together, we have found a way to keep those pieces intact for each other. For our friends.

No matter how sad or downright pathetic it may have seemed, it was in those moments of ugly crying in each other’s arms, of getting drunk trying to forget the boy that forgot about us, and of nights out that turned into sleepovers that turned into sleeping in the entire day, that we helped each other heal. And that’s so much more than what could be said of him.
