Day 35: War and Peace
Write about a recent conflict.
I'm going to be a tad bit delicate here with this post. I've had a couple recent conflicts that I hesitate to write about but at the end of the day, it's my blog. I will write whatever I want. That being said, I'm going to refrain from using any names and keep the details light.
A few months ago, I decided to end a friendship. It's not an easy thing to do. I don't do it often but a lot of shit happened that hurt my heart and enraged me and I had to ask myself, "Who am I if I don't draw a line somewhere?" My past experiences have toughened me to the point where I can put my foot down even though I knew there would be repercussions.
A few months ago, I decided to end a friendship. It caused a bit of a stir in some of my friends' groups, mostly because of the reason why I ended it. Obviously questions were asked, sometimes I answered them, sometimes I ranted about it, sometimes I just stayed quiet. I even lost a friend or two because of my decision. But it is my decision and I don't regret it.
A few months ago, I decided to end a friendship. It caused me a lot of anxiety and stress. Do I miss this person? Yes. I do. Was it the right thing to do? Yes. It was. I have thought I would eventually "get over it" and work it out on my end. But then I think about the details and I feel awful all over again. Some things, when they break, can't be put back together.
A few months ago, I decided to end a friendship. I wonder if they hate me. They probably do. They have a right to. But I hope instead of continuing to hate me or anyone else in the situation, they take that energy and fervor and move on, get the help they need and strive for a better future. On the off-chance this person reads this, I sincerely hope you're doing okay and working on yourself.
A few months ago, I decided to end a friendship. This is the first time I've written about it in length and probably the last time. I'm tearing up right now, so I'm just going to end this here.
