Goodbyes Are Hard to Say, But Some Are Worth Saying
to my besties
From celebrating test cancellations to writing names on one another’s books, from popping party poppers in classrooms to being punished together while hiding uncontrollable laughter—these little moments became the heartbeat of our school life. They were more than just memories; they were pieces of a bond we didn’t even realize we were building.
Time truly flies. It feels like just yesterday I walked into school as an 8-year-old with two braids and wide-eyed dreams. And now, that chapter has come to a close. The classrooms that once echoed with our laughter have turned into silent keepers of memories. Some childhood friends have become strangers—not because we stopped caring, but because life slowly drifted us apart.
We may not have shared the strongest bonds, but we shared moments that mattered—future plans that never reached completion, and standing by each other through highs and lows.
College has begun, yet my heart is still under quiet recovery. There’s so much I wish I had said, so many feelings left unspoken. To my besties—the ones who lit up my days, made me smile through my moods, and reminded me of my worth—I never found the courage to say it face-to-face, but thank you. Thank you for making those years unforgettable. We’re walking separate paths now, growing into different versions of ourselves.
But if life ever feels too heavy, and you find no friend to lean on, know that I'm always just a message away, InshaAllah.
Life is the name of moving on. People change, and so do we. We should keep moving just like time does—MOVE ON, no matter what. Today she may be my bestie, tomorrow it might be someone else. But no matter how kind, admirable, or amazing the new people I meet may be—they'll never be you. The space you hold in my life is irreplaceable, and no new chapter can erase the one we wrote together.
On May 17, 2025, I let go. I set them free, or maybe I set myself free. It’s not really a goodbye—it’s a gentle promise. A promise that no matter where life takes us, the memories, the laughter, the silent support—we carry all of it within us.
This new journey is just beginning, with a new mood, a stronger heart, and a soul full of gratitude.
Because yes, some goodbyes are hard to say. But some are truly worth saying.✨
