Cleaning Up

EEEkkkkk!! the semester is coming to an end and I am losing my mind! So many things to do that I can't really keep track. So what do I do instead of doing my homework or projects or God forbid listening to my professor, I'm trying to clean up my life in more ways than one. Getting rid of some stuff is surprisingly-almost disturbingly-easy, others as you imagine, not so much.

I got an email the other day from a-dare I call him-former friend. We had a major falling out last semester and haven't spoken since. I've moved on, by realizing that somethings aren't worth the energy of constantly stressing over. I had pretty much put him out of my mind, until the other day. I received an email from him. He apologized and said he wanted to give our friendship another chance as he was graduating in May.

Looking at the words on my screen, I found myself annoyed. I never asked for an apology, nor did I ever want one. I look at college as a growing experience, I have made mistakes, regret a few things, and I have learned a lot. From this particular relationship I learned about myself, who I wanted as a friend, and where I draw the line. Maybe he was right calling me childish for reasons beyond my comprehension, and if he was right, then well I have grown.

If your wondering, I have yet to respond and honestly doubt that I will. Not because I want to spite him, but I really don't feel the need to. Maybe that in itself is childish, and maybe even writing this blog is childish, but I honestly felt like I am moving on from this and this is my final note on the matter. As this experience comes to a close, this aspect of my life and this former friendship is also closed and put behind me.
