Getting Schooled
I was a bad best friend. Growing up I watched as my father left my family, leaving my mom to pick up the pieces. She work 3-4 jobs growing up. My biggest fear was becoming like her, not that I don’t love her but I just didn’t want to become as miserable as she did.
So before I went into high school I got serious. Cut off all my friends to focus on getting into a good school. I did. I’m fairly successful now but I’m lonely and feel like dirt.
I know my old best friend is a “starving artist” now but she’s happy. So I guess I’m the one who messed up huh. Story credit: Reddit / R3dzircon
