When I was in High School I had a close group of friends that included my best friend. In my last year of High School after 3 and a half years of friendship, my best friend and I broke-up.
The stupid thing is I don’t even remember what it was all about. At the time it was the most important thing going on in my life. Well that and some other complicated factors, but it was the most dramatic thing back then. This fight cut off any communication I had with this person. We went from talking every day, multiple times a day, to nothing. No contact at all once I left High School.
I have missed this person over the last few years. I eventually stopped picking up the phone to call her every time I needed to talk to someone only to hang up again. I came to think of her less. However our social circles where such that I would inevitably hear rumours about her life from time to time.
Then last year while I was home I was at the airport to pick up Meels (the new BF) and who happens to be on the same plane as her? The old friend from High School. We didn’t run into each other that day but it was enough of a coincidence for me to look her up on FaceBook and wait nervously hoping she would accept my friend request.
She did and we have since struck up an ongoing conversation about the last few years we have missed out on. It was kind of strange at first, but now I find myself opening up to her just like the old days. We have managed to rekindle the friendship we lost soo many years ago for stupid reasons.
The moral? Don’t let silly arguments in your past ruin relationships forever. Whether with that particular person or others in your life. What is broken can be healed and made even better in some cases.
On the off chance she is reading this; I know I have already said this to you, but I’m really glad we are talking again. I missed you friend.
