okay, maybe that’s a little overdramatic
yesterday, i met with shannon for coffee and conversation. i could always see the situation from her point of view, but i knew she didn’t know it from mine, in respects to the whole birthday thing and such. so anyway, we met, and here’s the gist:
i was like a sister to her, and it was a really hard time for her. after her and i stopped being friends, all of her friendly relationships fell apart, and with that, she felt like part of her life was unfairly taken away. she’s a big believer that your friends are a big part of who you are, and when her friends were taken away, she was stripped, and it was unfair. her senior year was really depressing and all that. she didn’t go to prom, grad night, etc. after everything that happened, she isn’t the same person. she also mentioned that she probably won’t ever be able to look at me the same way again, making it kind of hard to be friends again. but she is happy we got a chance to talk and everything. it was good to see me apparently. and we did get a chance to play catch-up.
it was weird when i first sat down across from her. for some reason, it felt like nothing happened. like we hadn’t not seen each other for months, almost a year. that made me happy. although she says she’s not the same person, but she felt like the old Shannon i have been missing, although with a new sense of confidence. i miss her. i hope we can get past this before i leave.
we’re meeting again next week. i don’t know if it’s supposed to be a hangout session or another talking thing. we’ll seeee.
