The Friend Who Got Away

I've been reading this book called "The Friend Who Got Away," full of 20 personal essays by women who talk about friendships that blew up or faded away for one reason or another. So, I've been doing a lot of thinking about a particular friendship of mine that fell apart. Most of the time, it's too painful to think about, but I'm trying to write my own essay about it. When I do, I'll share it here.

    Thank you for commenting on my blog, so I could find yours! What a special topic. You're right, when a friendship fades it can be devastating.Did you ever write your essay?

    Thanks, Betsy! I wrote the essay twice and just couldn't make it work. The only line I thought that was worth saving was, "I unfriended her on Facebook and realized that's what we'd been doing to each other for years--unfriending." I'm going to keep working on it. I like sending my essays to Skirt magazine.
