Over the years, the three of us had drifted apart. Sarah moved to Houston after graduation and Kristi got married and moved to Germany. Not long after, Kristi got a divorce and came back. She then met a real jerk but he did give her a wonderful gift: her beautiful 2 year old son, Dominic. I still didn't see her much though because my ex thought she was weird and I should be hanging out with his friends (when he let me go anywhere at all). A few months back, Sarah went through a bad break-up and moved home. I still didn't see her much because like I said before, my ex didn't like my friends. Then John and I broke up.
You know that a person is a true friend when they accept you back in their life with no questions and no judgment. Sarah and Kristi have been there for me everyday since the split. They know that I was an idiot for putting our friendship on the back burner while I was with John. But they have never once shoved it in my face. They love me no matter what. I know that whatever happens, they will always be there for me. They're my soulmates.
I completely agree with you!
ReplyDeleteY'all didn't judge me when I left right after graduation and came back 5+ years later. True friends don't judge others. As opinionated as Kristi is, she doesn't judge us. She just gives us her opinion on things whether we want to hear it or not.
You're not an idiot, you just had your priorities mixed up. Relationships do take up a lot of time, especially when you think that person is going to be the one that you spend the rest of your life with. Once the bad outweighs the good that's when you start to FEEL like an idiot. But that's why we are best friends, we accept each other flaws and all.
