Some friendships fade away like smoke, some shatter with a glassy crunch, while still others leave behind invisible scars. I lost them one by one, slowly, like the tide pulling back a little each time until I was left standing alone. One by one, the people I thought I could trust walked away, each leaving behind unanswered questions, broken promises, and a version of myself that barely resembled me. This is my story-the story of losing friends, and of trying to make my way back up toward brighter horizons. This isn't just about loss; rather, it's more about survival. Once learned, moving forward with the past weighing you down is never easy. You start to know yourself when the very people who positioned you in a particular way for so long have long gone. What Friendship Left Behind is a heart-wrenching and brutally honest memoir about heartbreak, healing, and the lengthy journey to self-acceptance. ** All names in this book are made up for the privacy of the people**
