Thirty Days of Truth 9

Day 09 → Someone you didn’t want to let go, but just drifted.

Well, see Day 1. The problem with not keeping up with the people in your life is that they drift away.

I did, however, make a conscious decision to let one person drift away. She was a good friend, but she got angry at me for something pretty trivial and ended our friendship without even telling me why -- I had to find out from a mutual friend. Over the years I thought about trying to resurrect that friendship; it seemed sad to me that it ended over something that she never tried to talk to me about or work out.

And then I'd think better of it. Of course, there's a lot more to the story than I care to talk about here, but let's just say that when I thought about that friendship, I realized that I was actually a bit relieved when it ended.

Sad, but true.

At one point she popped up on Facebook and friended me; even sent me a long, very chatty email that made no reference to the past. I friended her back, thinking well, okay; maybe this is a good thing.

Then she disappeared again -- poof! -- Facebook page deleted, no email, no nothin'.

I wish her well, but again, it's a friendship that's better left drifting.
