When I was 9 years old I got into a fight with my best friend and we stopped talking the last day of school. I swore I would never talk to him again. When Summer was over and it was back to school I had forgotten all about being mad and was ready to see my friend again. The only problem is that my friend had moved over the Summer to another state. I never saw my friend again. More importantly I never got to take back the things that I had said. As I have grown older I have learned how important it is to overlook the little things that hurt us, forgive the big things that drive us apart, that truly good friends are rare and life is too short to stay mad for very long.
Three weeks ago when you hung up on me I was so mad at you. I swore then I would not give you the satisfaction of calling back. I figured in four or five days you would come around and I would have to scold you once again about giving me the silent treatment. Now it’s been 3 weeks and I have heard nothing from you. For a while I was very angry with you so I could careless, but now I’m just hurt. I’m hurt that you think so little of me that you would act this way. I am sad that I seemed to have waisted so much of my energy on a friendship that apparently means nothing to you. Most of all I am angry with you for taking away your friendship without discussing it with me first. Halloween, the concert at Sunset Junction, getting thrown out the Hispanic drag show, your birthday party, hiking trips, the Laker’s game, my birthday and just being there for each other all makes for what I considered one my best friends. I’m sorry if you think I let you down. I’m sorry if you think I am a disappointment to you, but guess what…you let me down, too.

Sean You are on the big news!!…

it takes time to heal both wounds. for sure as years pass by the two of you will redeem the friendship that was strained for some reason. i hope things will be better with you sean as i feel your a good person. and guess what? i’m sure your friend knows that too. ;]
Pseudo-Lunatic 02.27.07 @ 2:01 amWhen I was doing my second level in school I’ve a friend whom I was so close to. Couple of times we had disagreements. I then won’t talk to him and it would last for couple of months, he don’t talk to me ‘coz I don’t talk to him. But, actually I was so hurt that I refuse talking to him because I know that when one of us is still mad we wouldn’t give way and insist on our reasons even if we are not sure if we are right or wrong. Then, eventually, a day comes, and we’ll just sit beside each other talk it through and forget about what happened. We cooled off and continued our friendship. There is always someone hurt when things go wrong, pain don’t go away quickly. Wounds heal eventually but, no sooner is the pain we felt. Sometimes, all it need is time. Too long a time can lose the lessons we’re suppose to learn, too soon and we’ll never learn.
Efren 02.27.07 @ 3:41 pmit’s hard for me to forgive and forget. but your blog made me think of how i once had this special friendship with someone, 1996 we parted ways and because of friendster i saw her again…she added me to her list of friends, i accepted her invitation but we still didn’t talked. well, i still can’t see myself sending her a message but who knows, as they always say…time heals all wounds!
euNice 02.28.07 @ 10:24 amit’s not time that heals the wounds, it is LOVE. It takes love to forgive the person who wronged you and it takes love to forget the anger and hurt you felt towards the person. Life is so short, so why would we waste the time sulking because we were mad with our friend? You wouldn’t know if you will be able to wake up the next day and what if you will not be able to? Don’t miss the chance to say “sorry” and thank your friend for the friendship you have with him or her. Swallow the pride and let LOVE overpower you. Forgive and forget and learn to love unconditionally.
Brown-Eyed 02.28.07 @ 8:47 pmyou’re one great person
Jeannie 03.01.07 @ 8:34 amand you can do away with
someone’s affection
it doesn’t make you any less
of who you really are.
just keep on doing what you love
and you will be love to all
and people will be drawn to you
more and more
love will come
and love will stay.
just go out and play!
Someone has recently concluded a friendship by walking out of me without a word. I’d be honest that I once did something like that to a friend few years ago. Neither have I made appease so I am recalling the -. what goes around comes around. Whether u get dumped by or get to dump somebody and who cares who’s more wrong or right -u feel the same crew of anger and hurt.
Marie 03.02.07 @ 10:50 pmI have been truimphantly ignoring and covering these feelings til I stumbled at your particular blog and also read thu your commentators. Just like you, deep inside (I feel) honestly sorry and acknowledge the remorse, even if tht person you’re sending smoke signals doesn’t see it COUNTS.
it’s kinda funny. I was thinking about a particular someone in my past, how much I miss him, and how I wish that we can talk again, like the old days as friends. but I don’t have the nerve to start, I don’t know if I can cause looking back I remember how much he had hurt me. and now reading ur post, these comments, (and “I’m not ready to make nice” lyrics ^___^) I realize that it does take time to heal. I guess it’s okay to just wait and see what will happen. it’s hard though, to forgive and forget. but we will, one day, hopefully =)
-pow n mommy- 03.06.07 @ 7:28 pmyou make the call.
Ella 03.07.07 @ 11:04 amtell how you feels.
like…. now.
whatever the answer is, you have made the call
sean,
you do not seem, to myself at least, to be really regretful of what had happened, of what you could have done, of what you will do henceforth
it is more like a fact-filled recap of what took place, and what it shows is that, up till this very moment you are still feeling spitful
why hang on?
let it free, and you will be rewarded with freedom in return
things in life, people you have bumped into, they come and go
heck, we come into and leave as soon as we are done with it
it is a pain holding on, is it not?
Janster 03.08.07 @ 3:42 amhmmm… what a sad story…
X yi Lin fOuR X 03.10.07 @ 1:38 pm-__- something like that had happened to my best friend and i too. she was younger than me, but she was the one who was always taking care of me. i felt so loved when she is happy and when she hugs me, but i felt that i have never done anything for her sake. everything was about me me me. i think i was selfish and immature. >.< though i was like that, she never gave up be friending with me. i was lucky i guess, to have a friend, but me and my sensitive issues made the bond break. i was so foolish to keep complaining that she doesn’t care about me and instead of realizing that a good friend was by my side, i complained about her attitude and small things about her. after that, she didn’t talk to me. i think i broke her heart. i felt miserable about the stupid thing that i did. oh, how i wished that i can spin the clock around.
thank god, i still had the courage to talk to her and confront her. i apologize the first time. it didn’t work. i tried the second time by sending her a message to her phone. of course, she didn’t reply. then i tried my best again to see her again and guess what? she was smiling again. i was so relieved and happy when she smiles. i realized my awful mistake and i think that i don’t actually deserve such a loyal friend but thank god that i am blessed with her existence.
=)
she is in my arms now and i will assure that she won’t be set free until her marriage day.
haha
i love her and i hope that she is happy.
things will get better one day. you’ll see. it’s a good thing that you still tried to confront her. keep trying. don’t quit trying. she’ll be back i think.
^^ good luck
once i have a good friend .since he had a girlfriend he did not talk to me .he thought i fallen in love with him. but in my deep heart i take him as my brother. though i have explaned to him many time he did not treat me like before . i do not understand why he could treat me like this.can he is my best friend.
zou 03.10.07 @ 6:46 pmhave courage to tell your friend how you feel. you wont get your answers from anyone outhere but only from the person who had kept you this miserable.
jehfrey 03.11.07 @ 6:08 amI experienced the same thing….didn’t talk to this friend for over 8 months.One night I was thinking what happened? Had to gave up and started calling my friend! I did the first move lol it was hard, but the pain is gone, we started to communicate again. lesson here: think first what word I have to deliver, really careful now and I have to think not to criticize people, lesson #2. don’t GOSSIP.People get HURT, and once you’re HURT the reaction is not to talk to this individual. We are mature and it’s time to act one. Peace…
Tommy 03.11.07 @ 11:15 amHi there,
It really is unfortunate to end a friendship on bad terms. 9 years old was a long time ago, perhaps one day your paths may cross again. Im sure both of you are mature now, and when that day does come i can guarentee that’ll be one of the happiest days of your lives =)
When i was young, i had a best friend who moved to a different school. Although we were close, for some reason we never kept in touch after that. Years passed-junior high, high school, university…i never saw her again. Until one day as i drove past her house i noticed a for sale sign on her drive way. Seeing that sign made my heart sank-even though we havent spoken or met in over 12 years! I got the courage to write up a letter to her, leaving her my email and number. Weeks passed and no reply. After giving up, i recieved an email. In it she wrote about a few things, one of which said she was moving away the following week. Too bad the letter was a little too late, but better late then never.
i can tell you for sure that that really brightened my day, and really gave a whole new meaning to ‘dont put things off’ =)
Good luck
zabrina 03.12.07 @ 5:04 pmSometime ,you may feeling that there are many things which you care about exorbitant will always keep aways from you,you more care about it ,it will get away somehow,you more take importance to them, they will go away contrary to your wishes,once you relax and leave them to chance,them will come again in you normal life…….this is belong to the time, this is the real life ,and this is the meaning of existing….
sophia 03.13.07 @ 4:02 amtt
Lim 03.13.07 @ 5:37 pmgood luck!
Jessline 03.13.07 @ 5:39 pmLook forward to have a new life’s..Don’t think backward to the past cos it’ll give you black shadow in the future.Many effects will occurs in different way which you don’t realise.At the mean time,take a little break for yourself to settle down it step by step.However,friendships will just end up no where cos in this situation will appears misunderstanding,lies and disconcern amongs us.And,never ever believe close friends nor good friends cos they may be jealous and do something which betrayed u.Try to think more futher to get more knowledge from elderly.They can give us more optinion to this problems.
Juicy 03.13.07 @ 6:03 pmI really hope friendship lasts forever but sometimes when a friend did something bad to us we forgot all the good things that had been through together. It takes sometime for us to realize that friendship will always be there no matter what…..
allaine 03.14.07 @ 8:41 pmSome people are blessed with so much love and understanding, that no matter how people hurt them, they are always ready to forgive and forget, some are cursed for having so much PRIDE…that most of the time ruins a good relationship. I hope you and your friend find time to accept each others shortcomings and patch up the differences, I’m sure you will and I hope it is soon. Cheers to that!!!!
Marites 03.16.07 @ 2:03 amnice post you have and it touches me…
mechie 03.21.07 @ 2:29 amsame with u,indeed best friends are rare.i’m happy that i have several great friends.when i’m sad or get some problems,they will always help and comfort me at the first time.of course,when they have the same situations,i will do my best to help them.i think that the love,understanding and tolerance is the most important between friendships.
cathy 03.21.07 @ 6:28 pmPromises can be broken, swear same too!, I believe that friendship still stand out no matter what he/she cost you, a friend who cries when he/she saw you cried is a true friend and is the one loves you the most. It is never too late if you do the first move.

' ' ' ' ' ART 03.22.07 @ 1:01 pmi think thats really sweet of you.personally i think friends make everything wortha while.even the worst person needs a friend.one thing you have to learn is to always leave enough space for disappointments and when things dont work out as you expect them to,its always for the best.sean youve played your role .
sera 03.23.07 @ 5:49 amI think this is one of the best blogs that I’ve read so far after randomly reading blogs on the internet for soooo long.. Thanks for writing this cos you’ve made me realize a few things in life.
MaRy 03.24.07 @ 7:35 amWow this really hits home for me too. I’ve also lost a friend who I considered sister-like. I thought she felt the same about me too, but I guess I was wrong after 15 years of friendship. So sad and hurt. Nevertheless, I’ve moved on with my life and I have other friends, but I will always carry the pain of the possibility that it could happen again. As a result, I now keep my guard up at all times and that is the most sad thing of all.
sharlene 03.24.07 @ 12:09 pmThe reason why we could not forget the hurt is because deep in our hearts, we trully love the person who’ve hurt us. Our heart is the one who’s saying us to forgive but our mind is the one holding it back. To my fellowmen, follow what your heart leads you.
Glenn Mark 03.24.07 @ 12:39 pmthe blogs is very good. cause the blogs mengandung main is positive.
andre 03.24.07 @ 12:50 pmawwww. your shoutout is such a wowowee! i really hope u find that kind of love my friend.
iAMtheLOVEthat 03.27.07 @ 10:21 amSorry to know that Sean but things like that do happen. You are not alone, in fact I’m in in one right now. It hurts so much coz I love that friend like a brother. Once I invited him to buy a lot in my province adjacent to mine so we and our families could spend old age together. I felt betrayed, something like the Holy Book’s 30 pieces of silver. My mind is wiilling to forgive but my heart refuses. I know it is something that I must struggle each day and must pray for, for forgiving is a grace not of human but from Him who is Divine. Perhaps this happens for us to know whom is right to be with us thru the rest of our lives. Something like a true steel is purified thru the heat of the fire. I ll pray for you too, Sean.
Icar 03.31.07 @ 3:15 amThanks for sharing, awesome blog man! True friends are like gems, it’s very rare but when you find them..,keep them.
KJ NEiL 03.31.07 @ 2:31 pmI would only consider people someone to be a “friend” if I could rely on them not only through the good times but also on those hard times, It’s easy to make an excuse about all of life’s obstacle’s but there is no excuse for letting a friend down. Wishing you someone who deserves your time & emotion, they are out there…just be patient, goodluck man!
what if he appears in front of your face,can you forgive him and ingore all the sad memory?
Bruno 04.01.07 @ 8:13 pmBy the way,you look like an american screenman in “LOST”,I just cant remember his name right now.Wish you be happy all the time.
Bruno 04.01.07 @ 8:18 pmim not being bitter but i have dumped a friend and have not talked to him for 3 years now…i never regret though! sometime things work really good for you even without your so called trusted friend…if a relationship is leading you nowhere and starting to hurt both of you..better quit before u hurt yourselves more!
rey 04.06.07 @ 5:20 amit’s good to have more friends, but to lost a friend is hard.
charisma 04.11.07 @ 11:13 amI think you better talk to your friend..before it’s too late..good luck!!
I know the feeling of being dumped of the person you care and love which just happened to me recently. What it hurt most is that I don’t know what happened and without any warning and he just cut me off.. What he did was the least I expected from him that he will do that to me. Because I know and believe him and trust him and still do. He often say how much I meant to him.. I thought we have a strong band together obviously I was wrong. But for me it is not a waist of time being with him. He is the best thing that ever happened to me and I believe he knows it. I strongly believe he have a reason, reasons that maybe is out of his control and if ever he came back I will forgive him, I know I will. I don’t feel any anger at him but maybe just a bit disappointed. I have so many questions that needed to know the answer…and maybe I will never have it. Questions like…have I done wrong and hurt him? Am I not good enough for him? Am I burden to him? Even though he is not around he will always be a part of my life, because we had a good memories together that I treasure. Memories that I still smile just to think of it. Yes.. it Hurts because I love him….but…I refuse to just sit and wait…I have to focus myself for the future and try to move on…. I know I can slowly anyway.
Ellen 04.11.07 @ 2:42 pmI guess you didn’t learn from your mistake when u were 9? If this friend meant that much to you, why didn’t you give him/her a call? It’s been 3 weeks and neither of u made a move? And did u notice that ur attitude is that you figured in 4-5 days they’d “come around and I’d have to scold you again…” It’s still about you isn’t it? It is now well over a month since ur post. I hope things have worked out for the best. If neither of you made any attempts to rectify this friendship in this time, then maybe it was never one to begin with?
Kimmie 04.12.07 @ 8:05 pmforgive and forget.
jessica 04.12.07 @ 8:08 pmi know what is the feeling of being trashed of your friend..
Bianca 04.12.07 @ 8:14 pmi know you care for that person
but sometimes people need to get hurt! so don’t feel bad about your friend..because people can make him/herself a little better something that is alive,you know people also need to move on…
ps.sorry for letting you down!!
that’s so sad..
keren 04.12.07 @ 8:39 pmi hope you could work things out with that person…
Godbless.
it’s ironic how we fail to see something/someone’s value when we still have it within our grasps..then later see it’s worth when we can longer have it…
keren 04.12.07 @ 8:50 pmit’s hard and all the memories may keep you regretting..but know that somehow everything has it’s reasons…time heals..but most importantly love…and if it’s not ok..then it’s not over..perhaps somewhere, sometime in some other world or timeline… everything would work out once again..
learn to accept that friends come and go in our lives. I have the same experience when I was in first year high school..though we were not so close but we walked home together after class dismissal everyday..we laughed,played together but we argued a lil bit and it happened just that..we stopped talking even though we were sitting next to each other in the class..
until we finished highschool we never became friends again.but it didn’t matter to me,i got lots of friends coming in and out of my life even I’m now in America

Leymar 04.13.07 @ 2:20 amhey, you don’t know me, but i’ve read yur blog several times.
been in the same situations, where i felt dumped without apparent reason.
suddenly the ties is cut.
the phone entered its unbearable silence time.
seldom i caught myself staring at the phone, waiting for the ring and waiting.
but it never did.
Sometimes life brought you memories to fill your lonely and cold night, sometimes it brought you sheer dissapointment.
I hope you healed faster than me, shuss away the dreadful feeling and continue your life as a stronger man!
