When a girl stole my best friend
Originally appeared online in the teen series Your Healings - November 26, 2024.
I am so grateful for a healing I had of hateful feelings toward a girl I knew in school.
I’d had a best friend in grade school. But then this girl that I came to dislike pushed her way into the role of my best friend’s bestie. Their friendship continued through high school, excluding me completely. I hated that she had become my former best friend’s best friend and that I felt left behind and left out. I had a few friends in high school but kept mostly to myself.
After high school, I thought of this girl once in a while, and every time I did, my thoughts were still negative. I couldn’t get over my anger and hurt.
