A SECOND CHANCE
Some friends are separated by time... some by distance. Some are separated by differences, and some by pride. - anonymous
When you ended a friendship, would you look back and try to work things out? When an old friend is begging for a second chance, would you grant it? Many would say, "It depends..", but for me... the decision should be final. You may call it PRIDE, but I'm just being firm with my decision.
In the first place, coming up with a decison like ending a friendship is really hard and could be life-changing, so you can't make a hasty decision. You have to think it over and over again. You also have to make sure that you've looked into different aspect of your friendship. If it's still worth saving, talk things over. But if your differences are becoming too much to handle, and if the friendship is starting to become an obligation rather than a give-and-take relationship, why waste your time? If it's no longer making you happy, why do you have to keep it. It would just be an emotional burden in the long run.
"If you've been given the chance to talk about the problem, take advantage of it and don't waste that chance. I've already given you the chance to explain yourself. You've seen me teary-eyed as I was telling you how hurt I am, but did you care? I didn't even feel any bit of concern from you, so what do you think I would feel? I'm so sorry, but as you have said, you know me... if it's a NO, it's definitely a NO."
