[PC stories/Life] I FEEL BAD I'M LEADING A FRIEND ON (IN A FRIENDSHIP WAY)

there's a friend i have. and i feel bad for leading her on.

we became friends in undergrad and she always reaches out first and wants to hang out or video call. and initially i really appreciated it. it felt nice to have a friend who appreciated the friendship.

but it's been years now and i haven't seen her in years. i'm in grad school now so made a bunch of new friends and am now much older so i feel a desire to move on with my life and live in the present more. but she still wants to keep up with the video calling and always messages me asking how i'm doing and such.

we were never super close but i still responded to her messages and did the video calls. and sometimes it was nice but other times, it felt like i was kind of wasting my time when i could be studying since i'm in grad school now.

and she keeps messaging me wanting to catchup and such. but i don't know how to tell her i want to move on from the friendship without hurting her feelings. i feel like it's such a difficult thing to do because from the receiving end, it could hurt. but it's better than ghosting, right? or is ghosting the better option?
