Processes

I've been thinking of the processes I've gone through to come where I am today, mentally and intellectually. How each experience teaches me a lesson whether I remember and reflect upon it moments later or even years afterwards. How friendships have developed over time, what makes people compatible, and how you know you like/dislike another person. Since this blog is basically designed for the four of you I want to tell you about the one person that has changed much of my life. The things is, she isn't even a person I look up to, she is one who I highly have low respect for.


We started out as friends and turn into really good friends to a certain point. She kept me laughing until I peed my pants and made me nothing but social. She shared the interest of the same sport as I did and she was such a natural it made life seem unfair. She was sort of like those geniuses that barely do the homework but ace the tests, see what I mean now? Anyways, a year later she got involved with one of my best friends then a truth that was used as gossip got twisted into being believed as a lie, dramatic people were involved and I felt shunned from this group of people I was 'friends' with. That was a hard year, to feel such change above other things and to be exposed to that amount of distrust, but that is the time I'm most thankful for because it directed me to the way of life I'm more fitted for. I don't like to think of how my life would be if I kept being friends with that group because it seems unimaginable and empty.


I kept this story pretty vague because when I want to go into detail I either looked down upon them or felt like I'm judging them and I would not want to do either. I just remember the two main things I learned and shall tell them through quotes.
'You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.'
'Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.'


So if you'd like, share a story on your blog that has geared you to becoming you.

  1. This is a good outlook, Anabelle. Very helpful to me right now.

    Misfortunes, in a word--stink. But maybe not. Had you continued being lucky with all the wrong people, life would maybe be unlucky for you.

    And here we all are, born of heartbreaks and laugh-attacks, discovering that the greatest "right" things in our lives wouldn't have come without the former.

    I love you. And if some jerk had to teach you to love me, well then I am thankful for that jerk. Grateful for the chance to mend a more beautiful person.
