How does one not stay in contact with someone that is important to them? This question deeply bothered me as another one came to mind. Why do I let rude people boss me around?
I wasn't even the kind of person to allow people to boss me around, but I've been feeling tired lately. Tired of always standing up for myself.
So I wondered why I let my supposed friend tell me something so mean, and I let her go on and on and on.
Usually I wouldn't allow something like that to happen, and I felt so lost as I walked up to the little cafe. The feeling of being treated like shit lingered inside of me, but I still managed to smile as I sat down across from my grandma.
"Hi," I smiled as I hugged her, "how are you?"
"Good, I'm excited to be seeing you today."
Quickly, it felt like it hadn't been months since I've seen my grandma as we conversed about our lives and drank tea. She told me about this photo album that she was putting together and I told her about school and my new boyfriend.
The feeling of being treated poorly by a "friend" faded, and it was truly beautiful to reconnect to with someone I hadn't connected with in awhile.
