Friendship Tango

Imagine scrolling through social media, I stumble upon my high school bestie praising a new friend of four years wishing her happy birthday and  declaring them the 'best friend ever' with shared adventures captured in photos.

As I sit in my jamas, there's a subtle sting. My recent birthday came and  I got no call, nor text.  It just feels a bit awkward when the universe decides to shake things up like this.

No territorial claims here, but there's a sense that the friendship balance is a bit off. The cherished "best friend" title seems to be doing a dance with someone else, and I'm left on the sidelines wondering when I missed the steps.

But hold on, before I dive too deep let's flip the coin. My friendship is like a vintage record, scratches and all. Two decades of highs and lows, and that connection isn't fading just because someone else entered the scene with a new playlist.

Sure, it's a bit hurtful, but it's also beautiful. So, here's to embracing the unexpected! 

I miss you Bestie!
