Okay, I said a lot in yesterday’s entry, but there’s something that I didn’t say—what friendship can be based on. The list is a pretty long one… kindness, compassion, confidence, trust, understanding… and ultimately love. Also, it is possible to feel bad for someone and still be their friend, as long as pity isn’t the foundation of the friendship. This is not the case with the girl I mentioned before. But it is with another individual—Beth.
It’s true that the flames have died down, and things have somewhat blown over. Life appears to be back to normal, but really, is it? No. I don’t think so. And neither does anyone else. There are definitely still some hard feelings, as the tension didn’t just magically disappear. But I still think there’s hope. There has to be. After all, by now I have learned to tell the difference between a friend, an acquaintance, and a foe. Beth is a friend.
