I'm honestly not sure why I'm posting this, maybe I'm looking for advice or maybe I just need to get something off my chest and I was hoping you all had some advice. So this past month has been really bad for me and the reasons are probably not very good. I feel like I'm losing my best friend. My best friend just moved in with his girlfriend and it feels like he doesn't have any time for me anymore. I know I'm likely overreacting, but i finally realized things aren't always going to stay the same things always change.

I hope we are still going to be best friends, he talks like we are and says when they eventually get married he wants me to be the best man, it's just he's my only friend and I'm scared of being alone. I don't do well alone. I guess everything really do is change no matter how much we may not want it to. I know I'm probably sounding selfish, but I don't mean to be and I'm sorry if this post is inappropriate if so just delete it. If there is any advice from a Buddhist prescriptive for dealing with change and such I'd love to hear it. I'm not doing well.
I feel very much with you about this. It's something that all humans share and have to face. Impermanence can be observed in all existing things that surrounds us. Meditation on impermanence can be a soothing tool to overcome the pain of realization. The process takes some time.
Yet I can assure you that there is great freedom in this realization and a an unlimited source of energy available once the mind is free of bondage from attachment to the ones we love. Once one overcomes this bondage this will be visible and is very attractive to others. People will know it when they get in touch with you. Then you will shine :hug:
