Brian very recently learned a valuable lesson in lost time/wasting time/bearing grudges/growing up and letting go, [YEA!] and even he admitted 'it was about time.'
I am very proud of him. [hearts and stars and happiness]
It's a tough lesson to learn, but a necessary step in growing up and moving forward. And I think we can all agree that moving forward is so very important - so very necessary.
At the same time I hate to think it is one of those skills which, once learned, is something one will have to keep utilizing as people come and go into and out of your life. It can be heartbreaking
I suppose it is ultimately better to filter your friends and acquaintances right from the get-go; to evaluate their worthiness for inclusion into your circle (trusted, inner, outer, cursory) on a continual basis, and then feel free to heave-ho the foul ones without guilt or remorse the minute they act against you or your family or friends, your sense of decency, etc.
That isn't to say that everyone you know (and like) should be your exact equal in morals and values, in intelligence and talent, in drive and determination, in status....no! But I am getting off the point.
What's new, right?
My delight in Bud finally letting go of his anger and letting this person move back into his life as a friend, to move past the pain of break up status and determine his life would be better having her in it in whatever capacity they figure out (other than sweethearts) is going to make him a better and happier person. That particular chip on his shoulder has been removed.
[sigh of deep happiness]
