The last time I talked to Kelsey* was more than a year ago, and the last message I read from her wasn’t sent to me but to her followers. I’ve emailed her since but she isn’t interested in talking to me, I guess. I miss her often. Ours was the most painful friend breakup I’ve experienced in my life thus far. If you’ll indulge me, I’d like to tell you why.
