I realized something just now.
I used to be best friends with this girl from 7th grade through sophomore year of college, more or less. We had this huge falling out, and kind of tried to be friends again a couple of years later. It was so awkward because she was simply over it and I wasn't. I still wanted to tell her what was going on in my life and for her to share with me and I became so frustrated and sad with her and I could NOT let it go. For years! In this moment, I realized that I am totally over it. And I have been for something like half a year. We Skyped a couple of times when I was in Italy last spring and I got all excited that we were becoming friends again. That following summer, I learned she was coming back to Iowa for a visit and had contacted a bunch of people wanting to see them, including my younger brother. She didn't contact me, though, surprise, surprise... Not gonna lie, I was a little heartbroken. But then something happened, and I just forgot about her. And I haven't thought about her or our broken friendship for months. It's finally happened. I'm finally there! Ahh, what a relief to have grown up and moved on. Way to go, Steph.
