In Part 5 of Confessions of a Late Bloomer, I’m sharing the breakup that left the deepest scar — and it wasn’t a boyfriend who broke my heart.

It was the quiet unraveling of a friendship I thought would last forever.

This episode is about the grief no one prepares you for: the loss of someone who knew all your early versions.

It’s about betrayal, heartbreak, and learning to stop begging for space in someone’s life.

Because sometimes the greatest love stories aren’t romantic — they’re the friendships that shape us, and the losses that rebuild us.
