I Feel Alone

I Feel Alone...

Written on May 27th, 2009

about 4 years ago my parents moved away to another state and left me alone in the same town I grew up in with no other close relatives near.  Luckily I had my boyfriend whom I just moved in with and my best friend who lived in the same town.  Within those 4 years my boyfriend turned into my husband and my best friend had a baby.  As of this morning my friend packed up her belongings and moved 2 states away to be with her boyfriend while he went to school for 2 years.  I am extremely heart broken because even though I have a few other girl friends they can never replace the extremely close relationship I had with my best friend.  We were like sisters...we talked every chance we could get and saw each other everyday.  No one ever thought of us as individuals, they always thought of us as 2 best friends.  I know that her life has changed now that she is starting a family and what she is doing is great because they are making something of their lives, but I feel that I have no one to talk to.  I mean, of course I have my husband...whom I love very much, but I have a different bond with my friend one that even my husband could never replace.  I feel lost and I feel as if no one truly understand how alone I feel.

    I completely understand how it feels to have your best friend move away. That has what has been happening to me for most of my life. And now I am pretty much friendless..but never mind that!! A while ago when my first best friend moved away i felt so lonely and felt like I had no one to talk to. At the time I had only one other friend whom I wasn't as close to. But since my bf was gone I had no choice but to hang out with the friend I wasn't as close with. After a while I began to get really close to my other friend and then we eventually became great friends and built a relationship that wasn't as strong as the one with my other bf...but it was still strong. So maybe you should give your other girlfriends a chance and hang out with them more. You should still definitely stay in touch with your best friend though! Try to call her at least once a week and stay in touch through email and such! Good Luck...i hope I helped!
