...I can understand that it wasn’t an easy thing for you, Aaron ...the friendship obviously meant a lot to you and had significant in your life...you won’t lose any positives it gave you, you’ll carry those with you ...we won’t keep all of our friendships forever but we will keep those friendship experiences and they’ll have their value to us in what we take from them...you met them on your own terms and made your own decision and that’s a good thing...no ‘what ifs’ etc...you made the choice that felt right for you...
