Fragile Friendships

Friendships... I think that they are wonderful... that they should be cherished as one of the most important things in life... that they should never be truly broken.

But recently, I've heard about a few friends of mine who are having a problem... that I think they shouldn't be having at all. If they just came clean with one another instead of letting their anger, pride, and other useless things (useless at this time I mean), I truly believe that they can come to understand one other. Instead, they're being... well, stubborn and... dumb. Instead of trying help each other get a better understanding of why the problem started and how they really feel about it, they're just trying to defend themselves from accusations that they ALL should know are false, and trying to prove that they are right and the other person is wrong.

When did friendships become so fragile, that even the dumbest, littlest things could make them fall apart? Why can't people remember what's important and just get over the issue without taking such a long time, if they even get over it at all.

I mean, these friends were friends for YEARS.... and they're letting something come between them... and when graduation is coming up too. Never to see one another like they used to, it makes me cry inside knowing that they might not be able to bring back what they had... just because they're so... so...

I believe that if there's a problem concerning friends, you better do something about it, instead of just leaving the problem alone, suffering all the while. If you feel you don't hang out as much with someone, find a way to hang out. If you think something is up with someone, maybe you should think about confronting him/her. If you want to sort things out with a friend, you better actually sort it out instead of making each other angry and not even getting closer to recolving the issue.

My friends... I can't say for sure, but I feel that they're being too dang PRIDEFUL!!! UGGGGH. prides good and all but it's kinda impeding the problem solving process. I really feel that if they all just listened to one another WELL, without forcefully disagreeing with statements or being weak and saying "its not like that" or "no..." and so on. STUBBORNNESS gets in the way as well.

... I really want these friends of mine to make up, and I wish I could be a part of their talk so I can help sort things out. but... I guess all I can do is hope for the best.

haha I guess I'm thinking about others too much? I don't know... but I don't think this trait of mine is a bad thing. but more on that some other day ^^

To my friends out there. I hope all of your friendships will benefit you, make you happy, and only get stonger with time. =)

Despite what I've seen and heard I still believe that problems within a friendship can bring friends closer together.
