I drew this based off of recent events.

Back in the early 90's, I had a best friend named Matt. We went to the same schools together, hung out, went to hockey games and concerts, they were great times.

2011 came, I graduated college, and we went our separate ways.

2017, his father passed away and I was in a flux situation where I was unable to attend the funeral.

2020, Matt sent messages saying he didn't want us to be friends anymore because I didn't go to the funeral.

I decided not to instigate a conversation because it would most likely end up in heartbreak for both of us. Nothing good would come out of it if I engaged. Besides, I lived a well and successful life without him since 2011 so I knew I would be okay. It was probably for the best anyway.

2024, just recently, he randomly sent me a few more messages saying nasty things to me. I couldn't take it. I finally built up the nerve to block him before he blocked me. Again, I didn't say anything. Why should I? He never asked me how I was doing or asked if there was a reason I couldn't go to the funeral. He just... made up his mind and cut off all ties with me.

So, this is why I drew this picture. I heard this song by Prince called "Purple Rain" which really describes my situation and feelings, especially the line, "It's such a shame our friendship had to end." I made the picture like I'm singing in a concert with the Sonic Underground (I forgot to draw Sonic's medallion... just pretend it's there!)

So, here it is.
