Broken friendships

                                                                                          USELESS REVELATIONS # 2
You know those friendships in your past that you occasionally think about and wonder what you would say to them if you knew they would listen for just five minutes?


Not often do I reflect on my past mistakes because it doesn't do much for the present to sit and stare in the rear view mirror for long periods of time, but lately I've wondered... Even those people who say hi to you or like your facebook statuses or wish you a happy birthday...some of them are still people who you wish you could say a whole lot to. As well as those who take out their bow and arrow when you see each other in Kmart...
So To those people whose relationships with me have drifted, broken, slowly burned down or just exploded into a mess of fire and brimstone (I considered writing out some names, but that's probably mildly unwise);



Those moments where you and I and our friendship held by a thread: I truly think I could had have tried harder to rectify the situation.

There is not one old friend on earth that I would not love to reconcile with, including you. I took you for granted. I have so many fantastic memories of us together being stupid and mucking around. Any unnecessary resentment or anger I had about what went wrong I don't feel anymore because I can only think of how much you gave me as a wonderful friend. I take responsibility for what I could have done that I did not do to make the situation better both over the years when were friends and the time that we weren't, and I acknowledge my part in antagonizing the situation. I should have told you what I thought of you: that you were an amazing friend and person who had so much patience for someone like me. Don't change. There's few out there like you.
Past is past but the world doesn't need anymore hate or hurt in it than there already is.




And if you think I might be talking about you then I am.
