So I think last night karma came back and got me,
and got me good. As a previous blog post had mentioned, a friend was mad at me
for assuming something I wrote was about them. As much as it wasn’t, feelings
were hurt and they are no longer talking to me. Well my feelings were hurt last
night and point taken. No matter what the full story may be, when feelings get
hurt it is never a good thing.
The situation was completely different, but the end
result was the same. As annoyed as I was that excuses were made, I stopped to
wonder how Laura Bush would handle this. I have had some issues with the
friends in question before, but I always just got over it and moved on. I kept
them in my life and just dealt with the lack of understanding as to why I was
upset. But should I continue to do that? Would Laura Bush?
Honestly, I am not sure. On one hand, the
friendships have been a part of my life for more than half of it, so can I just
throw the history and memories away? On the other hand, how much is too much?
When do I just walk away? When do I realize my feelings matter and no matter
the excuses or apologies, to take those in to account?
I believe that Laura Bush would remain classy, but
remember the way she felt it this particular situation. I will try to remain
quiet when I see them. I will not make a big deal about it, I will let them
continue to think what they did was Ok. They may never learn from me remaining
quiet, but I have learned that sometimes it is not worth mentioning. If things
will never change, there is no use in repeating myself to deaf ears.
As I continue about my day, still very hurt, I will
smile and let it go. Outside of this post, what is done is done and it is in
the past. No sense in talking about it anymore, no sense in listening to
excuses, and no sense in letting it bother me. The only sense is to continue to
ask, what would Laura Bush do?
Author’s Note: This song has been running through my
head since I heard it last night. Figured I would return the favor to those who
are blessed enough to know the amazing catalogue of music from Traffic.
