I give up on holding grudges…
Being mad at people all the time drains a lot of energy and I might as well just explain to you how I feel. I could be the happiest person in the world right now if I was grudge-free. I’m happy that I got offered a promotion, I pretty much live with my boyfriend, I’m getting more hours at work, I’ve confronted my assistant manager and she has changed her ways, I’ve been having the time of my life.
Dear “best-friend”,
Best-friends are supposed to be allowed to vent with each other can keep it a secret. We both know that I was mad and didn’t really any mean anything I said. By the way, I can’t even get him fired because I don’t have that much authority at work. In the beginning of our friendship I was kinda skeptical about you because of what my ex-girlfriend said about you having a big mouth, but I gave you a chance because you were all I had left after me and my ex broke up. I’m glad that you accepted me and fought for me when you found out I was gay. Thank you for being with me but I guess your chapter in my life is over. I’m just so hurt that you chose someone else over your best-friend…I don’t know if I can forgive you. You seem to be enjoying your life without me and you’re actually getting close to the person you chose over me. Thanks for all the good times we had, you made my senior year fun. Thank you for always protecting my boyfriend from me when I get mad. I’ve decided that I can’t be a part of your friendship circle anymore because I feel replaced and I feel like I can’t trust you. I’m sorry.
Dear “bro”,
I considered you my real best-friend. I’m happy that you found new jobs that aren’t food related. I know how much you dislike our working place. Remember the three months of not talking to each other. Not gonna lie, I was dying because I missed you so I apologized to you first because you seem like you didn’t want to be my friend anymore. Right now, well I really don’t know what happened. I was joking around with you like we always do one day and then suddenly you bitch and yelled at me. I was hurt, like WTF did I do? Then after work you expect to go to Starbucks with me acting like nothing happend, really?! I don’t know if you really cherished our friendship but I really did because I thought you were a great guy. I really enjoyed all the adventures we had. I’m happy that you and your boyfriend are doing great even though you know that we don’t mix anymore. OH well, I’ve decided it’s best that we shouldn’t be friends anymore because our boyfriends don’t like each other and I don’t belong with your friends anymore.
Dear X,
I’ve decided to stop hating on you. You only did what you had to do. I’m sorry I put you in that situation. I’m glad that everyone is accepting you. Well, I told my boyfriend about you and he HATES you. Remember that promise that we wouldn’t tell anyone until our friendship ended? Well we’re out friendship is over so I told my boyfriend. Good luck.
Dear person who stole my iPod,
I know for sure that you stole it. Oh well, I can’t stay mad at you because I work with you. You’ll get your deserved karma in the near future.
