My mother told me to always have grace, because if you react to a situation with grace and take the higher road no one can ever say anything bad about you. Although I’m sure there are people who say bad things about me, it doesn’t faze me, if I cared what people thought of me we wouldn’t have this blog! So let’s all be thankful I have no shame!
I remember having a discussion with my mom about how I would love to seek revenge on a guy that crossed me, but she told me that I must handle myself with grace . Then I asked her “What about my friends, it’s not like I’m directly doing it?” and my mom said “You can’t control what your friends do, can you? That’s their choice”.
I love my best friends, they’re my family. So when someone hurts them I get very upset, and vice versa. I saw Jake on and off for 2 years, he wasn’t always nice to me, so my friends had a few problems with him. I was with my friend Steph and we saw him in public, and I pointed him out, but I didn’t think Steph was going to do anything. Except she did; she walked right up to Jake pointed at him and screamed “You’re an Asshole!!” I was shocked, so was he. I apologized, grabbed Steph and held my laughter in as we walked away. When Steph and her boyfriend broke up (his doing) he asked her if he ran into me, should he be worried that I’d punch him. She told him yes, I’ve never punched anyone in my life, but I defiantly would have hit him, or thrown my coffee on him, or yelled “shoplifter!”.
Jake also ran into my friend Nikki, except this was more recent. Apparently Nikki still didn’t like Jake even though Jake and I hadn’t even talked to each other in months. But the thing is, when you treat someone’s best friend poorly, the best friend never forgets. Nikki was having dinner with her boyfriend in a tiny Thai restaurant where the table beside you is about 3feet away from yours. She was reading the menu and glanced up only to notice that Jake had been seated at the table beside hers and he was with a date (I wish her luck). He was sitting across from her, at first she was shocked, and then she remembered her disdain for him. She just glared at him, until she caught his eye. He was trying to place her, and then it was like lightening hit him. He grabbed his dates hand, said it was “too crowded and they needed to leave”.
I'm not condoning this behaviour, but no one can fault a person for sticking up for their best friend, that’s their job and I love my friends for being so protective. I just really can’t get back together with Jake ever again.
That Nikki girl sounds like a bitch - I love her
