I don't get it.
Oct. 13th, 2005 11:24 amI check my email this morning and Oh my! there is an email from Christy.
I hardly ever get emails from her anymore. Mostly it's forwarded stuff, after all I am one of the 7 people on her mass email list. I never get personal emails. I've got a pretty good idea why, but I won't get into that. Frankly, it doesn't matter.
Today's email is a mass email as well, but this one has a funny twist to it that I didn't expect. It's about friendship. Not a Breast Cancer awareness or Help find this child, but an actual "send this to all of your friends". I don't know whether to say huh? or WTF? The problem-solver in me wants to have a conversation with her to "fix" the problem. The realist in me says that the only friendship we have and will ever have is one based on the history of knowing each other so long. Either way it makes me sad because the "problem" can't be fixed and what does a friendship based solely on history say about the friendship forged years ago.
I'm going to share her email because it is a beautiful sentiment. I just wish I knew whether she was really thinking of me when she added me to the list or if it's just second nature to add my email. Without further ado . . .
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person
that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.
You will have your heart broken probably more than once
and it's harder every time.
You'll break hearts too,
so remember how it felt when yours was broken.
You'll fight with your best friend.
You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.
You'll cry because time is passing too fast,
and you'll eventually lose someone you love.
So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. So send this to all of your friends in the next 5 minutes and a miracle will happen tonight.
