drift

day 9 - someone you didn’t want to let go, but just drifted away from.

When I had extra pickles on my sandwiches, Whitney would eat them for me. She taught me to really love myself for who I am and she taught me to not follow a crowd. She opened my eyes to a different way of life.
We had so much in common, her with her evil stepmom and me, just getting out of a similar situation with my ex-stepdad.
WE WENT THROUGH SO MUCH CRAP TOGETHER.
It's amazing how we managed to stick together through it all. But now? Every once and a while, a random text, a phone call when one of us is having a crisis, but that's about it.
I'm not entirely sure how it happened... we were the best friends each other could've ever had my senior year of high school. I guess I left for college and, well, things slowly but surely drifted apart. It's sad, but it's how life works sometimes I guess...
