I saw a post about everlasting friendship today, asking you to post a picture of your best friend years ago and them now. It got me thinking about the end of my relationship with my best friend. We might not be friends anymore, and we might never be again, but that doesn't erase the 10+ years of friendship tjat we did have. The great moments, the hilarious ones, the sweet ones, sad ones, hard ones, and beautiful ones. One last goodbye doesn't make all that go away.
I'll always have Venice Beach, the sun sinking over the horizonand lighting the waves up with fire.
I'll always have the jokes, and the laughter, and the late night movies. I'll have the things we had in common, and always have those moments when we laughed til we cried and cried till we laughed.
I'll have the wonderful memories we created, and no matter the bad things we had, the pile of good things is so, so, much bigger.
So... our friendship ended. The memories did not, and I will always cherish them. I hope that even if I never hear about it, that he succeeds in his goals. I might be upset, but that's on me. He still should still have the life he deserves. So, dear one...
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again,
May the Gods hold you in the palm of their hands
These things once said, cannot be unsaid. Live. Be amazing. You'll climb mountains, so up, up, and away. Friendship isn't about the fleeting moments of the beginning, or the harsh time of the end. It's about the memories. Make some great ones.
- Me

ReplyDeleteDid you not have the courage to leave your cruel message up, Jason?
DeleteI want you to move on. I'm trying to. Go do it too. I want you to be happy and successful, and continue on your journey to good health. Do what you enjoy, with the people you love. I'm sorry things ended, but sometimes, things end. Please, leave me alone and let me get on with my life. Stop leaving comments and then deleting them, they go through to my email where I get to read them anyways. Just go be happy somewhere else. Go chase your star.
Play to the audience to the very end until they see behind the curtain. Then it's futile. I, for the record did not leave all those comments & after the ones I did I had second thoughts & decided forward was the best direction & behind is the best place to leave you. Forgotten.
ReplyDeleteThen stop interacting me. I truthfully do care that you have a good life. I did, and do, care about your well-being. Part of *actually* moving on, is letting the other person live their life and to try to only want life to turn out great. Of course I have crap thoughts from time to time, but I'm human. Now like I asked you before, leave me alone and actually move on. I don't want to hear from you again, unless it's something friendly. But for now, lose my number.

DeletePlease just leave me alone. I've made it clear that I want nothing to do with you anymore. Stop bothering me. I will delete nothing. You have no right to my words or how I feel. My good memories are mine, and you can't take them back. Now please. Don't reply. Leave me alone. Go keep living your life and put me out of your mind and go away.

DeleteWhat part of "leave me alone and don't talk to me" do you not understand? At least I've kept my dignity and not resorted to cursing at you and flinging petty insults.
DeleteOh no,I made mistakes in the past. I've understood that and moved forward to correct them. You are no longer a part of my life; just because I spent a long time making a mistake doesn't mean I should keep doing it. Yes. You know things about me. I know sensitive information about you too, that I'll be keeping to myself. Now, get the memo and leave. Me. Alone.
Ok. Bye, Gworgette. I will pray for you.
ReplyDeletePlease refrain from ever using that name publicly again. And just stay away from my blog in general.
DeleteAlso, please expect to be contacted by law enforcement in the near future, as I clearly stipulated that was what would happen if you continued to harass me.
Delete~*Yawn*~
DeleteWhatever you say, Georgette.
