reconnecting with old friends is a strange thing. you may have not spoken to each other in over a year and you may have ended on bad terms, but that moment you answer the phone call, all that past animosity seems to fade into nothing.

maybe it's because we've accepted the fact that people do hurtful things; people are flakey (at times) and most of all, people are selfish.

remember when you would be so angry with your best friend for playing with your barbie without permission? remember when you wouldn't speak to her for an entire hour and that was considered the world's biggest snub?

i try not to get agressive while angry at somebody. i hope with all my Heart that the moment will pass if i ignore it or if i just stop talking to them for a while. really, all it does is that it builds up even more before exploding at the smallest of reasons. sometimes, you just need to accept what you don't want to see and remember that people are all flawed.

but why do things get so magnified as you age? that hour turns into a year and half; that barbie turns into something so insignificant that i can't even remember it. so many questions, so little answers.

forgiveness is like lifting a big burden off your shoulders. you'd do better than without that weighted grudge on your already worry-bidden Heart.
