About this listen

If you could reflect on one thing, it’s this:

What unmet need did someone fail to meet, only for you to realize it was yours to fulfill?

This letter is for anyone who’s ever poured themselves into a friendship that never truly poured back.

With fierce honesty and hard-won clarity, the writer revisits a best friendship marked by silence, conditional love, and ghosted goodbyes. From the pain of early rejection to the moment a birthday “gift” revealed everything, this letter names what many of us feel but struggle to say: love should never come at half price.

If you’ve ever outgrown someone you once called “forever,” or found yourself waiting for an apology that never came, this one’s for you.
