Friendship

When you meet someone who you connect with, you hope that it will be with someone who you can trust and truly be yourself and vice versa. To be fair, we all have our good and bad sides which the truth about the latter is sometimes kept hidden intentionally or not.

The above person who is someone who has revealed her true colors to me recently but truthfully, I saw them in the past but refused to believe. In the past, she had made comments about what she deserved and what she was going to get but normally backfired. Earlier this week, she decided that she was going to attend her ex husband’s father’s funeral unannounced to give grace because of two of their adult children are getting married this summer. In my heart, I believe that her “good intentions” backfired in a huge way since the family wanted to celebrate their Dad/husband with those they loved and those who loved him. Can only guess when she walked in, “the shit it the fan,” likely. Her presence caused a seen that interrupted the peaceful celebration thus was likely removed quickly from the funeral home. My clue was that she commented on a text of mine to her in awful rude way. Honestly, I like the look for the good in people although her ex husband would say to me that I truly didn’t know her which I am realizing that he might be right. The time that she announced her plans, I had a weird wonky feeling about it which I didn’t share which I realize now that it likely might not have mattered.

In our relationship, I feel that she has to be superior to me although she is younger although I would like to believe that we are even because we both have our talents, skills and gifts. One hint is that she’s always putting others down probably even me. Trust me, I have my faults too that others share or I learn on my own. Our differences have been coming to light lately such as a cure for a sore throat which she would come up with some liquor recipe that she asked me if I knew about it which I replied that my Dad was a physician so I just took cold medicine. For being a “Christian,” alcohol seems to be the answer for a lot of things. We’re all not perfect which I am truly far from it so I do my best to be empathetic and understanding even 1200 miles away.

Have decided to wait until I hear from her since our last communication was Monday night. Life will be good either if I do or I don’t. Lesson learned.

Please feel free to comment on your friendships or comment on mine on what I could’ve done better with.

Thank you,
