Elated but crushed

Bestie Sco just called. He’s taking a job in San Francisco. I knew this was coming. I knew he had flown out twice for interviews. This was not a shock. But I am still devastated. And simultaneously thrilled at the opportunity coming his way. He needs this. He deserves it. I can’t believe he is getting this fantastic opportunity.

Do you know how hard it is to sound ecstatic while simultaneously crying? It’s not easy. I love him. He’s been by my side for 10 years. I know I’m selfish for being upset that he’s going, but I’m terrified I’ll lose my best friend.
