i'm kinda sad thinking that sooner or later, my ever best friend is going to leave me because she already is an American citizen..i know i'm being selfish, but i'm not yet ready being left here without her..i don't know what to do when she's gone for good. i don't think i can handle and recover so soon. it would be hard for me to go on since we are always together almost everyday. .how about you?

Aw, I am actually experiencing it now. This person is not my bestfriend, but he is closer than a bestfriend to me, he is my boyfriend. I got really sad that he is leaving for work, though not abroad, but to another city, far from my place. It is really hard to have a long distance relationship. You miss the person a lot and it's as if I have no other friends at all because when he was still here, I didn't go out with my friends more often because I was with him all the time. So I really got used to being with him most of the time. Now that he is gone, i feel so alone. Another thing, my bestfriend will also be leaving this June to another city because of school, I more alone thinking about it. I am not really a friendly person and only have a few friends. Now, i dont know what to do.

hi, that's a sad story too..our best friend could be our boyfriend, sister or it could be any body for that matter..yah, i understand your feelings too. and it's not like we don't have any friends at all, it's just that we are getting used to our constant togetherness..

Yes, that is so right greyz7, we are just so used to the togetherness that when they're gone we feel alone. its hard to suddenly go to your other friends, and your other friends would probably be shocked why you're suddenly around.

Any relationships is not permanent in this world, as the relation ends with departure, hence wish her all the best and go ahead with your life,

Well, I can relate to you since my best friend is leaving for another country to, but she's leaving to study there. Of course, the thought of her leaving me here makes me sad, but we promised to each other that we'll still be best friends and when I finished my studies, I promised I will visit her there, and she might visit here too.

Hi friend, sad to hear about this. IT is really hard to miss our best friend, but what to do? don't worry now the technology is very much improved and you can keep in touch with her using internet and mobile phone

i'll be so sad too. i'm too scared my best friend will busy and totally forget me and get new friend to change me from her life, but i think my best friend will never to do that thing to me. If they should go, far far away, it's their choice. i'll accept that if they have a good reason, not just because they want to try but they don't know very well about what country they will stay. If they are brave to move on, we are - as their friend - should brave too, to let their go, let pray they will get good time and good work there. being alone is bad, but it's better than you have your friend, beside you, but you cant make they feel free. let they go, if they should go. life should go on, so do they. i'll nver want they go with bad feeling, so let her go, that's her choice. accept that, because that's what best friend should do :)
