You get to a point in your life, and then the journey you have been making with a friend or friends seems to split paths. People of old will say that twenty friends cannot play together for 20 years. How much more a friend that you've just known for 3 or 5 years?
It doesn’t even have to be about relationships. It could be a part of you. It could be a job. In some cases, it could be family. But you just know that letting go is easier than holding on. I think you should read this piece
Letting go is not scary. I think what’s scary about the whole process is not the idea of letting them go. It is more about what happens next. The uncertainty that comes with it. The thought process and the idea that this person or people are no longer a part of your life or that you hold no place in theirs.
Also, there is no point in holding on to something or someone who has already slipped right through your fingers. It is like holding air. What you should do is hold on to yourself. You don’t have to lose yourself in the process.
Take time to breathe. As I learned recently, when you fall off the mountain, you should be glad that at least you learned the new ropes. Ropes that will help you climb up. Really, you didn’t lose anything.
We are Gen Zs; we are young, and the path can get lighter.
That’s all I have for today. Happy new month, and as I love to say, a drop of honey for your day.

The thought of saying goodbye is actually scary and it's the main reason why people hold onto bad relationships.
I totally agree with what you said here.
It's truly the uncertainty that comes with it, and I haven't thought about it this way before.
With the uncertainty, I think that's where trusting God comes in, trusting that God got you.
