I love writing. If you want to know anything else just ask me or else read up! I have two blogs ("A Pen Itching To Bleed Onto Paper" and "The Rebirth of J"). One of my blogs (A Pen...) is updated more frequently than the other. "The Rebirth” is more of a story I am writing with my life whereas "A Pen" would be my random thoughts past, present, and future in this unfolding journey I call life. If this is your first time reading my blog, please visit Post #2 for the month of April 2008 in my "A Pen" blog archives... Thanks!

An old friend...

So i hadn't spoken to my friend P. in a while. She was at one point my best friend but now is simply a friend or closer to an acquaintance. We were totally cool until this august when Our family went on a little vacation in Monterey and we all hung out. after that she became weird 4 some reason. Then with the elections and the fact that I'm a democrat and shes a republican we stopped talking. (I know, stupid reason for us to not talk but that's all on her.)

Now, I require a lot of attention, lol. so the last few months of no interaction have had a negative effect on me. I tend to make the rift larger than it originally was so that I can spit in it. lol.

And so last week she contacted me. apparently she is in Mexico with her family. Says she cant wait to talk to me and have a huge long conversation with me... but to me, that's dead. we're not as close as we used to be and I'm not sure if we can be again. she used to be my best friend. Now shes just a friend... but closer to an acquaintance.

I say give it a chance. The friendship may be better this time 'round. Maybe not talk politics. lol

People make mistakes. I don't know how bad it was when it went down but if I were you, I'd weigh it out. Good friends are hard to come by.

Forgiveness is not equal to reconciliation. not doing it huli, but maybe I'm just being stubborn, lol

I have a very similar situation going on with myself actually -but the friend in question was my best friend for years....and she got mad because I asked her to stop sending me political forwards. I guess I could have just hit the delete button but it was the principal of her knowing that I am a democrat and sending me anti-democrat forwards that bothered me. I,in a polite manner,asked her to stop sending these forwards. I get a mad response letter and not even a few weeks later an email telling me that she doesn't even want to talk to me anymore. I guess I am starting to accept it. I tried apologizing and she told me I was beating a dead horse. So I give up. I guess she wasn't the friend I thought she was to begin with. It hurts but what am I supposed to do? I tried all I can think of....what is worse is that she attends the only church I feel at home at and I don't feel like I can attend there anymore because if she is there...it will just be akward...and hurtful.

i think you're being stubborn. 1 more chance to explain and try being friends. then be just acquaintances.
