Sawadi Khrub,
Author Lily here.
Well, well, well… I genuinely didn’t realize what today was until I was scrolling through my Wattpad message board, cleaning out old conversations, and came across that one message. The kind of message that makes you stop for a second, laugh at how absurd everything was, and then think, “Why not talk about it now?” Honestly, the whole situation feels almost unreal looking back at it. It was dramatic, painful, confusing, and, in retrospect, incredibly ironic. So yes, I suppose I have a pretty good reason to bring it up today. Thanks to that message.
Today, 16th August 2026, marks exactly one year since something happened that genuinely changed the way I look at friendships.
On 16th August 2025, my so called online best friend left me.
I don't even know whether she ever considered me her best friend in the same way I considered her mine, but I genuinely did. I cared about that friendship. I put effort into it. I remember staying awake until three in the morning waiting for her messages, making sure I wished her properly, talking to her for hours, and genuinely believing that the friendship meant something to both of us.
The funny part is that she was the one who approached me first through a comment on one of my Wattpad stories.
I genuinely wish I could delete that comment from existence. What started from something so small eventually became a friendship that occupied a huge part of my life for a while.
We even had matching profile pictures for months, which I had chosen. At the time, I absolutely loved that picture. Now? I genuinely cannot look at it the same way anymore. It became attached to a memory I would rather forget.

@ShashiGautam666 People can stay. People can leave. People can change. And so can I. At the end of the day, I choose myself. I choose my peace. I choose my boundaries. And most importantly, I choose my mental peace over anyone who continuously ruins it. — AUTHOR LILY

@ShashiGautam666 I simply want that chapter to stay where it belongs: in the past. Because sometimes closure isn't receiving an explanation from the person who hurt you. Sometimes closure is realizing that you don't need one anymore. So, one year later, this is what I learned: I will never beg someone to stay where I am willing to stay for them. I will never sacrifice my mental peace just to keep a friendship alive. And I will never confuse the length of a relationship with the quality of it.

@ShashiGautam666 But if I were ever given the choice to experience those four months again in exchange for becoming the person I am today, I would still say no. Absolutely not. Because it didn't just make me stronger. It destroyed parts of me before I learned how to rebuild them. And I will never romanticize that pain simply because I eventually learned something from it. One year later, I can finally look back at that chapter without wanting to chase an explanation. I don't hate her. I don't want revenge. I don't want an apology. I don't want her back.

Don't make quick decisions when you are overwhelmed because, at that time, everything feels out of control. Your emotions are at their peak, and they push you towards making the worst decisions. You may do things that you regret later, so it's better not to make your life even more miserable when you are already in a miserable state. All kinds of negative and angry thoughts start appearing in your mind. That negative pull inside you takes control and leads you to make the situation even worse.
I understand these kinds of situations where you are alone, battling with yourself, trying to stay composed for the sake of people who don't understand you or your condition, not even a little. To some people, it looks like overreacting or throwing tantrums, but the reality is very different. One of the biggest problems is when people refuse to even listen to your explanation because, in their minds, nothing you say is right. Sometimes, the environment people create becomes so suffocating that you just want them to forget about your existence. Thinking like this can be a sign that you have been suppressing your feelings for too long, even beyond the stage of emotional numbness. It is a reminder that you need to start paying attention to your mental health.
We are not just living; we are surviving, and that is part of life. To survive, you need to be aware of the situation you are in. There are positive ways to survive, so you don't have to keep running towards negativity. Sometimes, negativity comes running towards you for no reason because it has become a habit, and habits take time to change. How much time? That depends on you. It may look impossible, but it isn't. One of the biggest lies an overthinking mind tells you is that it is impossible to become a better person. If you keep believing that lie, you may never break out of the overthinking loop. The choice is yours. You are worthy of becoming the best version of yourself.

Friendship is a relationship that isn't connected by blood, yet it connects people so deeply that many find it easier to share their life problems with their friends than with their blood relatives. It is a bond that brings strangers together and slowly builds trust between them. I know nothing is perfect, and friendship is no exception. It doesn't have to be perfect. There will be ups and downs, arguments and forgiveness. Some people have been friends for months, while others have stayed friends for many years. Some are still close to their old friends, while others have different stories, and that's okay.
There are people out there who call themselves unlucky or unfortunate just because their friends left them. I'm not here to lecture you about things you already know. I'm writing about this topic because many people are not only hurting their mental health, but they are also shaping their thinking in a negative way that won't help anyone. No one is born perfect, and humans don't have to be perfect. We are simply human beings with emotions. You did your best. You did your part. You showed genuine emotions, and you truly cared. But people have their own minds and make their own decisions. You can't force anyone to stay or choose your bond.
You are not an unworthy person just because you don't have old friendships anymore. People choose to leave. Sometimes they give reasons, and sometimes they don't. You shouldn't keep putting yourself down because of that. You did whatever you could, so focus on that. Why always focus on the negative part? People come and go, and some bonds are hard to forget, but you can't stay stuck forever. I know it isn't easy, and I understand that no one can truly measure your disappointment or your pain. But you shouldn't carry that burden for too long. I hope the best things come into your life. I can't take your pain away, not even with words, but I truly hope they bring you some comfort and help you feel a little more at ease.
