| Happy times over the weekend |
I keep replaying the entire
chalet weekend over in my head trying to figure out where it went all wrong. My
conclusion is that maybe P and I should
have just left when she first suggested it. But it’s too late now since the
damage is done, and we just have to go back and pick up the pieces.
True friendship can be a
tricky relationship to maintain, as I’m learning. It seemed so much simpler
when we were kids! But as we grow older, we realise how complex our feelings,
interactions and relationships can be. True friendship involves truth, loyalty,
support and love for one another. But with so many positive qualities, certain
negatives are bound to arise as well – expectations.
When P expected me to take
her side and not E and M’s, I felt like I was being set up to let someone else down
either way, like a lose-lose situation! Just like P and I have created a unique
world of our friendship between us together, I’ve done that too with E and M –
so what am I supposed to do when asked to choose between the two? Neither
person is entirely wrong or right, and I can understand their different
perspectives!
I’ve always lived by the gals-before-pals code. However, if that
same code could mean that I destroy one friendship world over another… then I’m
not sure whether I want to subscribe to that kind of thinking anymore. ‘Coz
that can’t be how it goes? It’s not fair at all!

That being said, I still tried. I went over all the details
from last weekend a thousand times, and I can’t seem to come to a decision
which I feel happy about. The only thing that feels right is to try and mediate
between the conflicting parties with the utmost sensitivity and understanding. Though
I know this is going to be emotionally exhausting for me, it’s still better
than ending my friendship with either P or M and E.
I’m hoping that if enough
time goes by, we’ll all realise that the worlds we build with our friends
aren’t replicable, so instead of tearing them down so quickly, we should work
on fixing the problems within them instead. What do you girls think?
Until next time!
