My ex-bestfriend had her baby [for real this time]!
Be proud of me; I even went to visit her in the hospital, and took a few gifts. I mean, once upon a time, our friendship was worth a hundred bucks in baby products.
What was weird, was during that entire hospital visit [which lasted all of maybe 7 minutes], it all seemed quite void. It was void of the magical kinship that I sometimes though would surface, should we ever run into each other again. There was no room for nostalgia. She's forging a new life, one that I do not even feel sad that I'm missing.
I don't say that to sound cruel, but it is what it is. How do you not miss something like the friendship that was had? Maybe it's just another one of those things that I will never understand, but have no problem accepting.
I guess it's just like reading... then finishing a chapter of a book.
No regrets. Just moving forward.

I like your analogy of reading a book. That's perfect.

I did not feel warm at all and I suddenly realised that I did not miss her at all.
It's strange how such an important part of your life can seem so irrelevant. People come into your life to pass by, some stay longer than othere. But ultimately they all leave.
