Anyone from History Honours 1st Year who needs Gully Baba Publication guide books can contact me. My friend bought the books just a week ago, and they are still completely packed and unused. I’ll give them at a lower price because he is dropping IGNOU and won’t be appearing for the exams.
If anyone is interested, DM me.
I’ve been struggling with something for a long time and I need some perspective.
I had a best friend who’s been in my life since childhood (we’ve known each other since around primary school). She wasn’t just a friend—she was someone I could talk to about anything without fear of being judged. We shared everything for years.
Over time, she developed feelings for me, but I never felt the same romantically. I still cared about her deeply and respected her a lot.
Then I got into a relationship. My partner wasn’t comfortable with how close I was to my best friend, and slowly I started creating distance. There were phases where I blocked her, stopped talking, and things became on-and-off for a few years.
Last year, I made a decision I regret—I completely cut her off without really thinking it through.
A few months later, it hit me hard. I started feeling really lonely and realized how important she was in my life. I reached out, apologized, and we talked for a bit, but things never went back to how they were. Eventually, we stopped talking completely.
Now I’m stuck with this constant regret. I don’t love her in a romantic way and I know I can’t give her what she wanted, but I deeply miss the bond we had—especially because she’s been there since childhood.
I keep wondering if I made the right choice or if I lost something irreplaceable.
How do you deal with losing someone who’s been part of your life for so long, even if you know going back wouldn’t really work?
