Friendships

So I screwed up majorly.

1) I totally forgot that the last post was the 100th post. And I was going to throw a party....

2) I had a recent lesson on friendship. A painful and beneficial lesson on friendship.

What happened isn't important. I messed up and I paid the consequence: the loss of a potential friend. But what I learned, more like what I was reminded is that you can't be friends with everyone. And that's not me trying to give some cop-out answer. With this person, I could never quite get a beat on him, I could never figure out who he was and how we connected. Let me try that again.

I try to get the beat on people because then I know how to act around them. It's just what I do. And I couldn't find this guy's beat and when I can't find a beat, I feel uncomfortable. I don't know how to act and that I'm walking on eggshells.

This is someone that I really wanted to be friends with. I don't like when I can't be friends with people whose friendship I wanted. But girls, it's okay.

You can't be friends with everyone. Acquaintances, sure, if you meet everyone. But friends? It's not always going to happen and that doesn't mean that there is something wrong with you.

Believe me. There is nothing wrong with you.
