Last night I received an email by a friend, telling me he didn't want to be friends with me any longer. I was fairly surprised and stopped what I was doing. I was flabbergasted. We weren't super close, mostly wrote friendly emails every now and then, but still, we've known each other for many years. I wasn't essentially devastated, but it really made me wonder.
I reviewed our latest conversations which dated back several months. In my last message I said that I was sorry for being so bad at getting back at him. In the mail that he sent me yesterday he said he wanted to clean up his contact list. Maybe you have changed, or maybe your life has changed, he said. Well, different lives lead into different directions, I guess. But yet.
I didn't reply right away, but slept a night over it. When I woke up this morning I still wasn't any wiser, but one thing was clear to me. I opened a new message and wrote to him. I said, if you're debating whether you want to keep me as a friend or not, then you probably shouldn't. I lied that I understood and said, there are no hard feelings. Take care and be safe. Good bye.
