I have been guilty of neglecting my blog, partly because I always wanted to use it for meaningful purposes and lyrical prose but today, as I'm quite fed up with he state of things regarding friendships, I will really RANT here.

I hang out with a group of early-secondary school friends, we lost touch in our JC and Uni years, but I like to think I got the group together because I made contact with 3 of them. However, I have a bone to pick with an opinionated bigot.
Fine, I can deal with her biased comments, her judgments, and her assumptions about me which were formed in secondary school and which obviously have remained with her to this day.

However, the last straw came when her sister accused me of something which I didn't do, and my friend obviously believed her, because she thinks I am 'calculative'.

It's sad when friendships have to end, and I know that the other girls in the group are disappointed because group dynamics are disrupted but I really don't know what to do when I'm told to try. As in try to make her like me?? ER yeah hullo, but friendships start because you accept your friend as they really are RIGHT?

And with another friend, part of the later-secondary school friend group, we have like this major misunderstanding of the century. All caused by one person's broken telephone message, which finally blew up into something unrecognizable.

SIGH.

I can't think of any way to solve these niggling problems, but my innate feeling is, relationships take time to heal, take time to develop, what's yours is yours, and if you don't treasure it, it will be gone. There, I've done it. Spilled my guts out and combined 4 cliches in one sentence. Which is the bigger sin, I wonder...
