A friend who was rude and acted wrong to me weeks ago sent a message saying he misses me and there’s no reason for us not to talk anymore. Honestly, my first thought was a “fuck you” in cute, colorful green and pink letters. Then came a voice telling me to think before answering. The next second, I leave the phone on the table and think it’s best not to answer. I still don’t know what to do.

But as a great promoter of conversation and resolving things in dialogue, I don’t like the idea of ​​not responding. There is no way to continue this relationship. But our friendship, even if it ends here, deserves more than silence.

I already understood that we came to this world to learn and evolve, so I don’t want to waste any more time, and I want to grow. Some people in my family will turn up their noses reading this. Some seem to think I’m a monster, even though I was there when they needed me. And there’s something else I have to work on. When you do good, you get good back, but it doesn’t always come from the people you helped (materially or emotionally). The good you do comes back. The bad too. So, what others do doesn’t matter; I need to do good to evolve. That’s not to say it’s easy all…
