Boy I've been on a real negative roll here, so one more then onto happier things! I promise!
Friends are funny things, I love having them around and they are such a blessing in your life but they can also become a major drain also! Here is a friend story I am sad to tell, but sometimes you need to know these things to really appreciate your other friends, who make you so happy!
I had kept in contact with a few close friends till recently. I had a small gathering to introduce my old school mates to my adorable fiancé (now incredibly wonderful hubby), and it was the start of a mysterious and grand fall! Every thing seemed to go along swimmingly; nice chats, photo shares, lovely lunch and he took some photos of us girls together at the end to remember the fun time we had. Once I got home I received a sms from one friend asking if my hubby-to-be had purposefully cut a friend of ours out of a photo he took for her. If you know my hubby you know he certainly would never do such a thing and especially to people he has just met. So I told her no it would have been an accident, he wasn't really sure about using her camera, so I'm sorry it happened. Subsequently she said she wasn't able to attend our wedding. Then my other best friend seemed to avoid me and finally let me know she wasn't attending my wedding. Only one of my good high school friends ended up attending. I was a little upset, as they hadn't told me why they weren't coming it was a big mystery and I thought maybe I had upset them some how.
Then months and months after the wedding I find out it is because of the photo incident that they didn't want to come. Are you kidding me! Sorry but that is truly pathetic in my eyes, and they didn't have the guts to tell me either. I haven't spoken to them since and have removed them from Facebook; if they want to talk to me they have my number and can call and apologise anytime. But I know they won't and they will miss out on so much which makes me sad. Sadder still that they would act this way!
So overall, lesson of the day is don't presume things, don't assume the worst and sometimes you just have to let some friends go. I forgive them and have moved on (yes I have), we are not all perfect especially me, but I'm not going to let them hold me back from enjoying my life with so many wonderful people who appreciate my time and energy!
To those of you who care about me, thanks for being there and reading my blog! Love y'all!

ReplyDeleteI lost a close friend recently over something...actually I'm still trying to figure it out, it's hard at first cause you can't believe it happened but then u move on realising there's nothing more u can do! Sometimes it's easier not having (what a friend once called them) 'hardwork friends' they just get u down.
ReplyDeleteI lost a friend once over a silly "joke" that was taken the wrong way. I figured that if they can't take me as I am well thats their loss. On the up side I have a friend that has been my rock for over 30 years, we don't see much of each other but we both remember birthdays & if I ever needed her or she me we wouold be there in a flash. THATS A TRUE FRIEND
