The wise Makuluwo said it best when she posted this on her Tumblr:
We were once a big happy family, just euphoric and full of goodwill. But stuff happened and everyone did and said things that they weren't supposed to. I get that, it's human nature to screw up a perfectly good thing and it happens all the time. But dragging it out this long is both painful and childish. We're all adults, so can't we just smile, nod and pretend nothing bad ever happened?
And you know what the worst part is, it makes people choose between us and being loyal to their best friend, and that is something that nobody should ever have to go through. I certainly wouldn't want to.
This might seem an angsty, immature and rather naive post, but I really needed to put this out there.
P.S. If you get invited to a meetup near/just past your birthday, please do try to make it. We'd like to thank you muchly in advance. ;)
"we are all adults, so can't we just smile, nod and pretend nothing bad ever happened?"
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm... as opposed to being realistic and thrashing things out??
:)
Being adults makes it all the more difficult to let go of a grudge. Look how little kids always fight but in no time at all get on as if nothing happened.
ReplyDeleteAngel - But being realistic sucks so much... especially when it comes to friends. :(
ReplyDeleteAmila - I know what you mean, I mean kids say and do the most obnoxious things sometimes, but the fight is fought and over with in no time. :)
Thanks for the comments, guys! :)
Nothing wrong with a bit of screaming into a pillow :P
ReplyDeleteBut of course, holding a grudge just isn't the way to go :)
Meg - Oh, true that. Better to scream into a pillow than some poor passer-by, eh? ;)
