The following is of little importance and I would totally understand if nobody reads it.
This former friend and I… we don’t speak. I no longer go anywhere that she would be. I stopped going to the place where she works. If people want to meet up somewhere I will only go if it isn’t at that particular bar/restaurant. Yet we remain Facebook ‘friends’ although neither of us communicate with the other.
In the almost two years since we stopped associating there have been two times that radio silence has been broken.
The first was when she announced her engagement and I commented with ‘congratulations’. She never responded.
The second was when I announced my engagement. She responded the same way: ’congratulations’. I never responded.
This evening she made a post regarding her thesis and how well it was received. I bucked the trend and gave it a ‘like’.
I don’t know why I am sharing this. I think a part of it has to do with the fact that I always assumed that we would be attending the other’s wedding; that we would be a part of each other’s life for a long time… It’s bizarre how friendships can just end. I’m the first to admit that we are both responsible for this happening and our stubbornness proves that it won’t go back to the way it was even if that were possible.
Oh well. Cest la life and all that…
