goodbye to an old friend

  My old friend, you have been with me for over 40 years.  You were the first one to greet me every morning, and was there while I enjoyed my coffee. I relied on you for so many things. To calm me when I felt stressed, to sit with me when I was bored, or on my computer or talking on the phone. You were there to give me that burst of encouragment when meeting someone new or entering a new situation. 
   
  I broke up with you once for quite a while, because I realized your friendship was toxic.
  It was the best 15 months of my life. I felt better physically & had mental clarity. I was doing things I enjoyed doing because you were not taking up all my time. I didn't have 1 cold or any breathing problems when you were gone. My life was so much better. Why oh why did I let you back into my life?! 
   
  I am not sorry to say that I am breaking up with you again! I DON'T need you. I DON'T want you. I have realized you have done nothing good for me in this relationship. I want to stand on my own 2 feet without you holding my hand with all your fake tributes to this relationship. All you wanted was to take my money, destroy my home and clothing with your horrible smell, make me an outcast in places where I could have made some real friends, waste my time, and destroy my health. 
   
  So I am breaking up with you again. This time for good! Every time I think I might need you back in my life, I will remember all the things you have robbed me of! I have new friends now. Friends that have my back, and encourage me to keep you out of my life. I feel empowered now. I have heard over and over, to be happy you need to get rid of toxic friends.. so off you go!  I no longer need you. I want to live a long and happy life!
