🌸 From Laughs to Silence

A best friend is one of the most precious relationships you can have in life. A best friend is your chosen family. A best friend can be a version of yourself, or maybe the complete opposite.

A best friend is the one who knows you best, the one you share ev-er-y-thing with. The one who is there when you need a shoulder to cry on. The one who is there to make stupid, funny decisions with that you will remember for the rest of your life.

The one who can’t help but mention you whenever they talk to someone. The one who feels like home when you hug them. The one whose smile instantly brings you peace.

It’s a one-of-a-kind relationship.

And exactly that one… I lost.

Luckily, I’m blessed to say it was only gone for five months.
Yes… we are baaack.

But seriously, losing a friendship like that feels like a breakup — maybe even worse. You grieve the person, but you also grieve the version of yourself that existed with them. It leaves an emptiness that no one else seems able to fill.

If you’ve experienced this too, if you’re going through it right now, or if you’re afraid it might happen one day, let me give you one piece of advice: communicate. And yes, it really is that simple.

Of course, I don’t know the reason behind your situation. Maybe it’s something small and silly (like in our case), or maybe it’s something big. Maybe in some situations it’s even better to go separate ways. I don’t know.

But a friendship like this is similar to a romantic relationship: communication, trust, understanding, and forgiveness are the building blocks.

If the friendship is toxic, run. If mistakes were made, talk about them and decide for yourself whether you can move forward together. If you’ve grown apart, ask yourself whether you want to work on it or not.

There are endless scenarios, but in the end it all comes down to clear communication. From there, you can decide how to move forward — together or apart.

But please don’t just go into silent mode. Going from such an intimate friendship to becoming strangers is painful and absurd, because the truth is: both people suffer.

People who love us deeply and accept us exactly as we are are rare. Don’t take that for granted. Don’t try to act “cool” as if it doesn’t matter. Don’t let your ego take over. Nobody is perfect, and we are all learning. Even the strongest friendships will face challenges.

It’s simply part of life.

With that being said, I want to leave a short message for my bestie:

“Hey Caro, I’m still so grateful that you reached out and that we were able to openly share our feelings, because I was really struggling. When I saw you again after five months, I realized how unique our bond truly is. It will simply never change.

Even if we see each other a little less, all the memories — the good and the bad — keep our friendship alive. My belief in our bond and our silly connection is simply too strong to let anything come between us.You have a special place in my heart that no one can ever replace.

I’m proud of the person you’re becoming and I will always support you. May all the beautiful things in the world come your way.

I love you,
Cel ❤️ ”
