There is someone dear to me that I have been friends with for 10+ years. A lot has happened in our friendship over that time, but we always moved on and ahead.
Over a year ago things between us changed even though I fought so hard to make it work. I have reached out several times over the past year to mend our relationship, but there's only so much one person can do. I mean, even if I put in the 99.99% of effort to fix the situation the other person still must give .01% in order for any kind of change to take place.
I've done what I can and I am at peace with it. It is (hopefully) only a temporary end. I'm letting go and moving forward knowing that I tried and no matter how much I change myself, I cannot change someone else.

“It happens to everyone as they grow up. You find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that people you've known forever don't see things the way you do. So you keep the wonderful memories, but find yourself moving on.”
