Severing Ties
The older I get, the more New Years I see, the more I realise that being popular isn’t all that great. Being able to wake up and know you have true friends in you life, now that is great.
Today, I have severed ties with someone who used to be a friend of mine. In fact, used to be one of the most important people in my life. I am going to make a conscious effort to forget his phone number. I have got rid of all the photos of us in physical existence in my flat. (yes, most of them still exist in digital form, but I can’t delete 3 years of my life). Before New Year, it upset me that this is something that might happen. This person, afterall used to be very important to me. But now I’ve managed to have a serious thought about it, and do I really want to hold out hope that he will be allowed to talk to me? In all honesty, no.
New Years Eve showed me that I have made some amazing friends at work. Friends who, I like to think, will be friends for a long time to come. I feel very lucky to go to work and have friends there, not just people I get on with.
The older I get, the bitchier things can get. The more shit happens in your life, the more you realise who you can rely on.
In other news, if anyone likes wine, and wants a bottle of Cloudy Bay, Sauvignon Blanc, 2007 Vintage, let me know. It belongs to someone I used to know, and because of the emotional crap it’s come to signify, I can’t bring myself to drink it.
