getting rid of a bad friend is like removing a wart.

sometimes it is easier to ignore said wart and pretend everything's alright.
but every once in a while, it sends a sharp pain shooting into you,
that, over time, makes you resent that wart,
and also resent yourself.

and yes, it sucks to get removed.
it fucking hurts.

for a while you feel as though you can't do anything,
because you might hurt the area that is now missing the wart.

but eventually you get used to it
and you are able to move on.
slowly, at first,

but eventually,
eventually,

you are better off without it.
and it is worth it in the end.
