Recently, my friend's life just got a whole lot better. Everything is "perfect" now. Honestly, it is her year. At first I was jealous, but to be a good friend, her needs definitely go before mine. I'd rather be a good person, and squash my envy, than to lose a good friend.
Anyways, as a result of her "perfect" life, there is nothing to talk about. Nothing at all. We've already talked about all the "sweet" things her boyfriend says to her. The fact that he's going to give her her first kiss on her sixteenth birthday. The fact that her dad is throwing her a killer party. The fact that her grades are awesome, and she's winning so many awards.
There's just nothing to talk about. She doesn't call as much. Doesn't ask about me, how I'm doing or anything.
I'm just shocked. We had such a strong friendship. She (used to, anyways) claim that I am the reason she is her life is in order now, because I listened to her and helped her through all the hard times.
Can I save this? Does it even need saving? Is it worth it?

you were there for her through it all,so it'd make sence if you where with her for the good times.
maybe instead of talking about how good her life is,
try to improve yours :]. talk about boys for instance. maybe her boyfriend has some single friends ;]. you could always start a "what if this happend?" kind of thing. not in a bad way,but jokingly. Or, i know you might not want to hear it, but maybe it is time for you to split apart. just for a little while. so you can get your life on track. Maybe doing what you've done to help her, is all you really can do.Now its her turn. What i'm saying is, your friendship is based on advice and helping,sticking together. so keep that bond by hanging out with her more and just creating memories. now that all the dramas out you guys can have care free fun. I think it'd be interesting if you guys went on a double date,if you have a boyfriend. if not,have her bf invite someone ;]. that open millionss of new doors for conversation.
Basically,to me,your saying your friendship is getting awkward. Change that by having fun. going out.
ugh, i feel like i'm rambling. sorry!
haha, i hoped i helped with all of this ;D
but please, if you need help, just drop one in my inbox. because, who hasn't had this feeling before?your not alone.

She most definitely cares about you, but it's just the excitement, you know? You can just tell her that you feel more distant, even though you're happy for her. If you take the time to sit her down, she will slow down. I wouldn't want to risk a friendship. [ footballchick2's advice column | Ask footballchick2 A Question ]
