i read tis story in "Chicken Soup for Teenage Soul", titled: Lesson in Friendship... somehow e story seem 2 b a little similar 2 e 1 i havin... bt den... e endin... i dunno noe how it's like 4 mine... e person i feel i'm like in e story is e best frien... n e main character in e story in Qing... though i dunno wadeva she's tinkin in her head... here how's e story goes...
"...There's e ppl you've known 4eva. Hu like... know u... in tis way. tt other ppl can't. Bcuz dey've seen u change. dey've let u change."
Tis is a quote frm an episode of My So-Called Life, 1 of e many subtly profound quotes characteristic of e show. tis 1 in particular refers 2 an aspect of a certain kind of friendship, a veri special kind of friendship, tt i haf n cherish. Let me explain.
Throughout my experience on e show, dere were many character concepts n story lines frm My So-Called Life tt touched me. In portraying Rayanne i was most deeply affected by e dynamic of her friendship wid Angela.
Being Rayanne's frien wad gettin harder n harder 4 Angela. Rayanne was bein knocked off, or wad knockin herself off, e pedestal new friens haf a tendency 2 put each other on. Tis awesome new frien, hu lived life on e edge, actually fell over e side every once in a which, and fair or nt, Angela was disappointed.
Tis happenes. As Rayanne, i didn't haf 2 go far 2 fell e fustration, e disappointment a situation like tis causes bcuz i've been dere. I've been through e turn of events tt sneak up on a friendship forcin it in another direction, e closeness suddenly gone n replaced by questions n doubts. Tis is tt pt many relationships cum 2 where a decision has made: 2 stay in or bail out, 2 decide wad it's worth.
i had a best frien frm 3rd grade through 7th grade. We were practically inseparable 4 those yrs. Den i change.
After growin up wid e same grp of kids frm age 5-12, i hit Jr. High n a whole new world opened up 2 me. It seemed every1 was dere, e boys frm e Little League where i played ball, friens frm e Pop Warner football teams i cheered 4 (n my brother played 4), as well as a number of ppl frm e summer drama workshop. Nt 2 mention my big bro, hu wad a 9th grader, n all of his friens hu adopted me as deir own lil' sis. e "in" crowd welcumed me, figurin tt i had 2 b cool 2 noe so many ppl, n life was gd. Always some1 2 pass notes 2, always some1 2 gossip about, always some1 else 2 call, always about something really impt.
I was a different person wid each new grp of friens. i wanted 2 b everything 2 every1, n i bcum so wrapped up in nt onli all of tt, bt so wrapped up in myself tt i couldn't c wad was really goin on. i was jus 2 busy 2 realized tt i had gotten a little lost. My best frien started 2 distance herself frm me. i dun tink she like wad i was bcumin. But i did't c tt den; i jus felt her lose faith in me. It hurt so much, n i didn't understand. 2 keep frm dealin wid it, i threw myself even further in2 my new life. It wasn't long b4 i made a few mistakesm some worse den others, n e "in " crowd gt a peek @ e real me. Or @ least some1 other den hu dey tot i was, n dey were disappointed. tt's wen it gt ugly.
Dese so-called friens (no pun untended) turnin fast. In a melodrama of gossip, n rumors, i was banished. I had been part of tis "in" crowd until dey found out i really wasn't cool enuff 2 b dere.
tis time had cum 2 step back n take a look ard. tis was 1 of e hardest times in my life. i felt alone n wad veri disappointed in myself. My 1st step was 2 go back 2 my old best frien. i tried so hard 2 show her tt i was sorry 4 messin up, tt i still loved her n missed her incredibly... tt i need her. In return, i received blank stares n emotionless responses. So i tried harder. Still, barely a trace of tt sisterhood she once shared wid me. It took me a long time 2 realised tt i had lost her, tt she had changed, too. N our best-friendship was gone.
tis is onli e front part of e story... haix... i really feel tt it was like e frindship between me n qing... all along i felt tt she driftin apart frm us... mayb she wasn't e onli 1 @ fault? i dunno... i really miss those happi time we had... i treasured dem...
e onli diff of my friendship n tt story was tt she nvr cum back 2 us... tis hard me so much... cuz tis gid me e impression tt she nvr treasure tis friendship between e five of us... tis board tis ship, had her fun, n den leave tis ship 4eva... did she eva care bout e feelings of e rest of us??? i'm truly disappointed of her...
i dunno if i'll eva allow her 2 board tis ship again... i fear tt e same thing will happened... mayb i jus leave tis port n find a better port? where dere r ppl hu really treasured e friendship...
i glad i still haf close pal bside me... till now... i can hardly believe tt dey were actually e 1 tt i didn't really care bout... i mean, wen qing was on tis ship... she was my best pal... while e others were jus frien... well, mayb other den da... hu is sort of like a close frien... after qing...
time sure can change a lot of stuff... esp relationship... for better or for worse... i really hope tt no more relationship will turn worse... n ended up bein gone 4eva...
