Friends Can Hurt Too

“Friends can break your heart too.

Friends can leave you wondering why you’re not good enough, what you could have done differently or if they ever truly cared.

Friends can leave you feeling like a part of you is missing. They can awaken traumas inside of you that you didn’t know existed, and they can trigger your abandonment wounds.

Friends can make you feel like your deepest secrets and your most intimate vulnerabilities are out there in the world being carelessly held by someone who is now gone.

Friends can keep you up all night crying at 2 a.m. over the loss of someone you thought was a platonic soulmate, but really they were just another lesson.

Romantic love is not the only one with the capacity to shatter us.

We assume friendship will last forever, and we are left aching, and empty when it does not.

I wish someone had told me, warned me, prepared me, for just how much it hurts.

Friends can break your heart too.”
