["I lost my best friend last year when he moved to Chicago because he got accepted into a master's program, and he made me feel like our friendship meant nothing since he was going on to do bigger and better things.", "That can be pretty hard to swallow, do you stay in touch? It's easier these days with the likes of social media. How do you fill that void?", "We don't really stay in touch anymore. He and his fiance invited me to their wedding, though. He's not a social media person, and I'm not either, so we've basically lost touch. I haven't filled the void, unfortunately, but I feel okay about it now."]
That's such a shame, we grieve any kind of loss, I suppose. Perhaps the wedding would bring you closer together?
My best friend and roommate got accepted into a competitive master's program in Chicago and broke our lease to leave. I felt stuck while he got off and do the things he wanted to do.  He made me feel like I wasn't good enough anymore to be his friend. Meanwhile, I stayed in town and struggled to even finish my bachelor's while working a dead end job.
