The thing about friendship
4:24 PM Thursday, July 31, 2008Today a friend at work sent me a horoscope thingy, which, okay, I don't put a lot of stock in, but something in it made me think. It said "it is time to re-evaluate a relationship", and it kind of struck home.
I have a friend whom I used to hear from almost daily and whom I considered to be one of my best friends. Then, I stopped hearing from her abruptly and she won't respond to emails, phone calls and messages, not even texts. I don't know what's going on and she won't even throw me a bone.
If we aren't friends anymore, I didn't get the memo. And I'm the type of person that appreciates a memo. If we aren't friends, just tell me. If you're in a phunk and don't want to talk to anyone, let me know. But, the worst thing to do is start ignoring me. You do that and I can guarantee we won't be able to be friends again. It's happened with other people in my life and if you know me, you know I rarely, if ever, give second chances.
So, if you want to retain my friendship, speak now or forever hold your peace.
