Left aside. Again
So, i just found out my very best friend of 25 years is getting married on Jan 24th.
I guess my invitation got lost in the most efficient public mail service of the world.
Yes, maybe it did. Its just i am kinda mad about this, and i should not.
Well, it is also true that we haven't seen each other for a long, long time, but we exchange e-mail often and i knew about the engagement and everything. I only did not know about the wedding date.
So, this girl, some other girl and me were pals since kindergarten literally - we were 3 years old.Same classes till the end of junior high. Then, i changed schools, but once a week i got out of classes and went to the old school to see them. Then, i couldnt get there anymore, and since they never came to see me, I started to send notes though my mom, who was their teacher for a while. As life goes by, we all sorta lost contact, but always remember each other's birthdays and such. Then one of them got married to her long time school boyfriend, and I had to hear that from an old school budd, not her. Sure,I was in college, she was not, we were not best friends like the old days. Anyway, I always thought of them as real friends, but now i guess its not true.
Then, bittersweet is this thing called Internet. We get close but also drift apart from people. Sites like Facebook, Orkut, Myspace, they all let you find out old mates, and then you realize how much of their lives you also missed for not being in constant communication. I also realized i was more a friend to them that they were to me. I guess you make new friends and move on, right? Those junior high school friends are married, with kids, and i was not invited to a single ceremony or reunion. Maybe it has to be with some other stories, specially some about a girl saying nasty things about me when i was no longer in school. Yep, pretty bad stuff, unfortunately, but even worse is that many people believed in her. I only found out about it in my last days of college, when I bumped to a friend and reminiscing, he spilled the beans.
Well, nevermind now.
I wish her happiness, because she is a good person after all. Too bad she does not think of me as a important friend anymore, because I would have gladly accepted the invitation if i were invited. Hope all my friends are enjoying life.
Me? I was left aside again. No worries. I have some new friends now. And I am very close to fulfill my dream of becoming a diplomat. I bet they never thought i could make it - they usually made fun of me about being a geek in glasses - but I am going to be the person in charge of my country's foreign affairs very, very soon !!
Goddammit !
