You probably miss your friend and it hurts to think about her, but you should try to remember the fun times you had together without dwelling on them. Friends are wonderful people to have in your life, especially when you have a lot in common and hang out all the time, but you have to spend time alone as well. Though your friend may have had a huge influence in shaping who you are now, you must take that experience and continue to move forward on your own. You have to learn not to depend on others for your self-worth. Once you are confident in who you are and truly like yourself (i.e. become your own best friend), you will attract other like-minded individuals. Everyone grows and changes throughout their entire lives, no one ever stays the same, and real friends understand and allow each other to do so without making them feel guilty, even if it means going in a new direction and leaving friends you care about. You'll meet hundreds of people throughout your life who will have some kind of impact on you, so it's almost impossible to keep in touch with them all. The only person you'll always have is yourself. Some people find this philosophy depressing or cynical, but I find it liberating.

I have much advice to give you as I have probably tried everything at least once. I've studied human behavior for years by immersing myself in various environments and participating in different rituals. Sometimes this involves morally questionable activities, but I feel the need to understand the way the deviant mind works as well as that of more cooperative members of society. After analyzing my experiences, I've come to the conclusion that our reactions and interactions are all basically the same at the core. No matter the situation, I should be able to dig up some first-hand wisdom for you.
