Farewell note to Arlene Rolliog

An Open Note

   Arlene and I met each other when we were in college at University of Caloocan City. We both took up Management Accounting. At the beginning, we considered each other as rivals to honor roll as we both aspired to be on latin honors' list.

   To cut the story short, our academic bickering has ended into friendship. God knows how much I've longed for friends since I never had any way back when I was in HS. We considered each other as siblings regardless of difference of blood running on our veins. We supported each others' decisions and became each others' protectors. We shared sorrows, melancholies, success, happiness, fights, love life issues and family turmoils. I thought our friendship was the greatest and that no issue could ever tear it down; I was wrong as I were the only one who lived that notion.

   I wouldn't discuss how the friendship ended but I just can't believe that my greatest buddy has abandoned me during the darkest moments of my life. She left me in the dark nook and made me hope that she'll come back to rescue me but she never did. I waited until my body trembled from chill and my inner voice reprimanded me to get up as I was just waiting for someone who will not arrive.

   I made this note to officially cut the ties that bond us. It's not because I'm no longer willing to fix it, but  I just don't deserve avaricious treatment from the people whom I trusted the most. I've been kind to them but they repaid me with animosity. It's not healthy and worth it to stay in a friendship wherein you  just feel your worth when you're needed but by the time you need their help, they're not available.

  Just because I was thwarted once doesn't mean that I'll be thwarted by the people that I'm gonna meet along my journey to this perilous yet fantastic world. Just wanna note that friendship is not measured by the length of time you had spent with each other; it's measured by how real you are and how you deal with each other in times of storm.

   I'm officially declaring that I'm free from negative people and need to go on with positivity.
