future-thoughts

Mood: Tired
Listening to: Not sure???

I used to think that we forgave our friends for their imperfections and burnt our family members at the stake for theirs.

What I learnt is that what we rather do is not notice what friends do at all.  Of course there comes a time where we take stock, and in this process we re-evaluate friends and find that a substantial gap has come into being.  The place you were, the place they were and the places where you find yourself.

Right now, in the only moment that really exists.  Of course it's a bitter pill to swallow to realise that a friendship is in tatters.  Left in the wake of nothing more than changes in life experiences and focus.  A different viewpoint is okay for a time, but when values conflict radically a type of resentment usually reserved for family starts to boil under the surface.

It's hard of course, but it's harder to pretend that it does not exist.

All we can ever hope is that in telling the truth the mettle of the person shines and you can move forward as friends once again.

If not, unlike family, you really never have to see them again.
