Friends


I want to talk about friendship. 
I've had many friends. 
Some I still keep in contact with, and some just fell out of touch with.  Others seem to hold something on you since the 8th grade. Or you remember what someone did to you in school.
Is it worth it to still ignore that person? 🤔 
I saw someone I used to be really good friends with like 30 years ago.  She did see me, but turned her head and kept walking, while I'm trying to say hi to her.  Wow!  I'm thinking,  what on earth did I do to you? 
I had a BF in junior high.  For Almost 2 years we were BFs.  One day I came to school, and all my stuff from her locker was on the floor in front of my locker.  Her combination was changed. 
I had no idea what I did.  But she wouldn't talk to me.  I was hurt.  Our friend group of 5, had turned on me.  I had to find another seat at lunch.  It was the last few weeks of school. So I found other friends to be with.  So this girl still won't even acknowledge me.  Seriously.  
I'm seeing my daughter go through some stuff.  Same stuff I did. And it hurts because all I can do is be there for her.  Be her shoulder to cry on.  She was having severe panic attacks and ended up having to change her schedule around at school.  Her "best friend" turned on her, again.  They were BFs since kindergarten. And here we are in high school.  
 And can't believe she did it again.  It always happens when a new girl becomes friends with one and then there's 3. And one always gets pushed out.  And I honestly hope these 2 feel like shit for what they did. 
I hurt for her, but then again I'm happy that she's not friends with them anymore.
So, my ending ramble here is, why can't everyone just get along? 
 Why do some people just turn over on their friends?  
Why hold something over someone for 30 some years? 
Is it worth it to end a friendship over something that you think is wrong or right.  Because I can say, from experience,  no.  
Get that friend back.

Peace, light and love.
