The Paris Olympics have officially wrapped up, ending on a high note Sunday with Team USA snagging gold in women’s basketball.

Breakups are never easy, whether it’s a romantic partner or a close friend. I’ve been there—one day you’re inseparable, sharing secrets and inside jokes, and the next, you’re more like strangers who occasionally ‘like’ each other’s posts on social media.
