I WOULD HAVE WRITTEN THIS IN EMAIL FORM DIRECTLY TO THIS INDIVIDUAL, BUT I DON'T KNOW THEIR EMAIL ADDRESS, AND I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE POSTING IT ON THEIR MYSPACE - I APPOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE FOR MAKING THIS PUBLIC ON MY LIVE JOURNAL AND TAKING UP SPACE ON YOUR FRIENDS PAGE GUYS. I'LL BE PROTECTING THE SEX AND THE NAME OF THIS PERSON TO MINIMIZE POSSIBLE SHIT TALKING AFTERWARDS
I've been reminded recently that some people in this world simply don't let go of things. I remember a friend once told me that everyone holds grudges, be it against other people, against God, against themselves or otherwise - and that doing so damages the soul in the worst way.
Someone, and I dare not say who because this IS live journal, said alot of mean things about me to James (my best friend). It hurts, and not in the 'oh god I need to cry' way - more so in the betrayal way because I did alot for this person in the past...helped them get through alot of tough emotional problems - introduced them to keeping a poetry journal, gave them their first one, created a web site so that they could get their work out there, taught them the basics of HTML so they could do it themselves...and just overall LISTENED to them when they needed someone to listen.
We've not been friends for quite sometime and I wont go into it, because it's between that person and myself, but we don't talk any more. When people ask, "Do you know SO&SO?" I respond with "Yea, they're and asshole, I don't like them." And if I'm asked why I say "it's between them and I, it's none of your buisness." in the nicest way possible of course.
My point is that I don't attack that person personally by making comments about private things, or events, that may or may NOT be true. I don't remark on their ability to pay their rent to their future roommate - that's unnecassary shit stoking, and doesn't do anyone any good, not to mention that this person has no knowledge of my renting history, and therefore has no right to make such an outlandish statement.
I guess what I'd like to say is that I want this individual to stop - and ask that if they have something they want to say to me, that they walk up to me, look me in the eye, and say it.
Tanner.
