Greeting to everyone! And happy weekend to you all. Today I want to share an unforgettable memory I had with a sister about some months ago, sincerely it was really heartbreaking for me and I still find it difficult to forget uptil now, even though I've moved on a long time ago
If anyone had told me that the person I called “sister” would become someone I now cross the road to avoid, I would’ve laughed it off. But life has a funny way of revealing people to you, sometimes in the most painful ways
Let me take you back to February this year. Things were going well for me, small business growing, spiritual life solid, and mentally I was in a good place. At the center of it all was my closest friend, her name is Florence. For almost four years, we did everything together. From sleepovers to family functions, we were inseparable. I used to joke that if I ever got married, she’d probably be my second husband
Then one day, everything shifted
It started small, weird vibes, unreturned messages, late replies. I brushed it off as stress. But the real shock came when I found out through someone else that Florence had been talking behind my back. Not just small gossip oh, but deep things I had shared in confidence. Personal things. Things that I didn’t even tell my own siblings
I couldn’t believe it. I felt like someone had poured cold water on my spirit
What hurt me the most wasn’t even the betrayal, it was the fact that I defended her so many times. People warned me. Even my mum once said, “This your friend, shine your eye.” But I was too blinded by loyalty to see the signs
After confronting her (and being gaslighted in the most shocking way), I made a decision that changed everything, I let go. I cut her off. Not out of hate, but out of self-respect
That experience woke me up. I realized that some friendships expire and that’s okay. Just because someone was good for your past doesn’t mean they belong in your future. I learned to stop ignoring red flags just because of shared memories. Loyalty is not stupidity. Protecting your peace is not pride
Now, as we reach the halfway mark of 2025, I feel lighter. I’ve learned to pour into friendships that pour back into me. I’ve found joy in my own company. I’ve drawn closer to God. And most importantly, I’ve realized that peace of mind is a luxury I’m no longer willing to sacrifice not for anyone
If you’ve ever felt the sting of friendship heartbreak, I want you to know that you’re not alone. It gets better. You’ll heal. And when you do, you’ll thank God that some people left because they were blocking the blessings ahead
Thanks for stopping by
Love you all💛🧡💛
