My best friend and I were inseparable through our school years.

We then went to university and continued to be very close. When I graduated I moved into her ROOM and we shared a room for a little under a year.

When we were 21 we took a 3 month backing trip around South America (very recommended). My younger brother genuinely thought he had two sisters. We’d shared a lot together and basically grew up together.

I then moved away and started my career, I fell in love and over time we just drifted apart.

We didn’t have a huge argument, there wasn’t drama, there just was a distance that neither of us felt was important enough to be closed.

I believe that everyone plays a role in our journey and this girl felt like my soul sister growing up.

Then, we were on completely different paths and we just didn’t understand each other and the journeys we were on anymore.

It wasn’t bad, it just was.

Fast forward 6 years later, we were both invited to a mutual friends wedding, we laughed and we danced the night away, it was great to see her happy in her life.

Fast forward another year to the present. We are in Split, Croatia, celebrating our mutual best friends 30th birthday and the joy and the love has been following all weekend and my heart couldn’t be happier.

Life is a cycle, people come and go, and some come back.

When people do leave my life, I aim to do it with the least drama possible.

Let them go, forgive them, wish them the best and forgive yourself. You never know if that person will be a part of a future chapter in your life.

Keep shining
