I'm sorry, I forgot to blog yesterday... but I don't care and I'm catching up. It's about writing this year, not about being strict with it. I'll write about something that happened to me yesterday.
When I finished high school, I knew I'd lose touch with a lot of people. I speak to five people who were from my school regularly, but not so much with the others. I get along often with another friend of mine who was in my class two years ago, so in total, six people. I talk to anyone who I happen to see on the street or somewhere else if I know them and it makes me really sad when I can feel how they don't want to talk to me or to my friends. I am the first person to say and admit that people grow apart, it's normal, but a simple "hi" isn't that much to ask and even a smile can't hurt.
The problem is when someone you were never really into starts to insist on talking to you when you clearly act like you don't want a friendship. You never really had a friendship, you were just classmates. This girl who was in my class has been trying to get in touch with me and I didn't bother answering until yesterday. It's not the first time it happened, so this time I decided to just come clean with her. I didn't want to offend her or hurt her, I honestly didn't. But since she didn't take the (countless) hints, I had to be sincere.
I was honest, but I hate the fact that when you're not honest with someone, you're a liar and fake; when you are honest, you're a bitch. That pisses me off. And I'd rather be an honest bitch than a liar or a fake.
I never said I didn't want to talk with her ever again, I just don't think there's nothing there between us that goes beyond high school. No subject of conversation, nothing in common. So why does she insist? I am genuinely surprised with all this situation.
It reminds me of that episode from Friends when Monica discovers that Phoebe had tried to "cut her out" in the past. When I saw it for the first time, I knew I did that. I've done it all my life and people have done it with me. People grow apart, it's a fact and it's normal. You can't always have friendships with every single person you've met. Either you don't have anything in common, you don't like them, you don't see them at all or you just don't want to. It's not a harsh way of thinking, it's what happens with everybody, everywhere.
Bisou, bisou.
