Ok. So I just want to say, that I know we aren't friends. We haven't talked for... jeez over a year... and you may think this is some lame last ditch effort of me reaching out to you, but in all honesty Joy, I don't want you to think I just want to overnight become friends again. I'm not entirely sure we can ever really repair whatever crap went down between us. I understand I pissed you off, but I don't really understand why we stopped being friends. I know I can be hypocritical. I've grown a lot over the past year, and regardless if you think that's possible, I really have. This isn't me just looking to cause more drama or whatever, I just thought maybe we could start talking again. Slowly

There's a lot I would like to say to you that I have decided would not help either of us, and so I will restrain my words. I want you to know that I wasn't ignoring this comment. I was waiting until I had the clarity of mind and the initial defensiveness and hostility had waned before I tried to reply.
You really need to reexamine our "friendship," as you call it, because we were never really friends. We barely talked, never hung out, and only had sustained contact because we were both altos in praise team and I was lousy at it. You spent virtually all your time at youth group with others. I think you called me maybe once. I invited you to my birthday party and you showed up over an hour late and brought a friend I had met once or twice without asking if it was okay first! So you say you don't understand why we stopped being friends-- because we never started being friends. Not in any real sense

you know, after reading that. it makes a lot more sense. and I honestly thank you for taking the time to read that and actually think of something to say. Because it would have been easier to blow off. And I really think you're right. Now isn't the time. I think I was hurt slightly because people around me get to be friends with you. Like Zach. But I understand that you guys go way back. So being jealous of that is completely pointless and really exhausting. I'll definitely leave you out of it. Maybe, one day, long from now, we can talk or whatnot, but you made a good point, and after looking over my life, I don't think that either of us needs anymore pain or frustration right now. So I respect that. Thanks for just taking me seriously, and actually writing back.
