Does this seem f!cked up or justified? I'm conflicted.

In exactly a week cause I'm moving back to my hometown since I just graduated. Thinking of leaving without saying goodbye to my college "bff". I put that in marks because it doesn't feel like we are. We don't even hang or talk like we used to. I can barely even get a text back. She graduated last year and works full time now. I totally respect she works and is in a relationship with the boyfriend she lives with.

My reasoning for wanting to leave without saying anything is because she says she's super busy with work so she can't reply and doesn't have time for anyone but yet she talks about going out with her frat friends and her bf. Or goes to raves with them. Get this: we don't even live that far from each other(10mins at most).Took her off Snapchat last year because she always posted stuff with the frat but never replied until later. Her excuse was always, "Omg, I just got your text, my phone isn't working. I don't get notifications." *eye roll*

If she actually wanted to hang out before I leave she would've contacted me already. She knows that I'm leaving and I've told her already. I've talked to her about how we don't talk much and she apologizes but nothing has changed. I've just been really disappointed/hurt by previous friendships this past year which is another reason why I just wanna leave town. I'm moving 6hrs away and I'm not coming back.

If you were in my situation what would you do?

Leave. If she wants to know why you didn't say goodbye, ask her why she never called you knowing you were leaving.

You know this friendship is over anyhow. She obviously never intended it to go beyond graduation. Enjoy any good memories you've made together, and let go of the rest.

Your adult life begins NOW. She is part of the growing years.

@Serenitree: Thanks. And you're so right she didn't intend for it to go beyond graduation now that I think about it. Hell yeah. I'll definitely tell her that if she asks. I've been here for 5yrs and dealt with far too much shit as it is.

@UltimateZero: good luck in your adult life. Be happy.

@Serenitree: Thank you! It's just not going to be easy doing this because part of me feels like she'll be left hurt once I'm gone. But now that I think about it she hurt me more than I realized. At first I wasn't sure if I was being selfish.

@UltimateZero: is it selfish to hope that someone cares enough to notice that you're missing from their life? Is it selfish to hope she cares? Sure it is. It is selfish to want love and joy and success. But without that kind of selfishness, we strive for nothing. It's selfishness that causes us to work and earn a living. If we are lucky, we work at something we love. This is also selfish, but in my opinion, selfish can be another word for survival skills.

@Serenitree: Wow. You knocked some sense into me. Mind if I screen shot this quote? Cause that's so deep. That's so true...we strive for nothing and its only in our nature to feel as such because we wouldn't be where we are with out it. Without this drive we wouldn't have the people we have in our lives. And if they aren't willing enough to care then that's on them.

@UltimateZero: indeed. You just go be as selfish as it takes to make your life worth living.
