Over the space of about
6 months I lost two major friends from my life.
While I accept my part
in each friendship ending, I also feel that they need to accept their part. Because I will never be in contact with them again it is really hard to know if they do understand their part in the breakdown and end of our friendship/s.
Today we got home to
find a bag of stuff on our front door step from one of these people. It has
been over a year since we last spoke and I just felt it was unnecessary to
return my stuff after a year. It was not anything that had any meaning and most
of it I just threw away.
The hardest thing, was
it just brought up feelings that I thought I had dealt with.
I do miss this person;
I just feel that too much time has passed to try and rekindle our friendship.
It is a tough one.
How sad. Perhaps they are also trying to come to terms with the end of your relationship and saw that returning your belongings was part of it? Or maybe it's just being unhelpful, especially if it wasn't stuff you'd need or want. The saying "water under the bridge" doesn't mean much if it's actually a raging torrent. Sometimes there's just too much water to swim through.
ReplyDeleteActually, that's a really good point. Perhaps that was her way of getting closure. :)
