The most challenging decision I ever made was to end a long friendship that once seemed unbreakable. Over time, I realised it was no longer healthy- what began as mutual support turned into an expectation to silence my values to maintain the bond.

It came to a point where I had to choose between standing by my beliefs or staying in the friendship. Walking away was painful, filled with doubt and longing for the past. But I learned that some relationships can hold you back no matter how cherished. Letting go wasn’t easy, but I needed to stay true to myself and grow.
