I’ve been a bit nostalgic about when people actually made sense to me. Last night after being verbally attacked by Francesca’s boyfriend over how ungrateful me, Trish, and Ilyssa were about Italy and how we are in the wrong, I can’t seem to shake a) the feeling of complete anger and b) the thought that people are ridiculous. Everything that happened is between me, Francesca, and Trish. The third party (her boyfriend) should in no way be involved, especially after I witnessed how he mistreats Francesca (i.e. spitting at her and cursing her out in public?). Why are people okay with being treated horribly, and why don’t they stand up for themselves? Further, why can’t people fight their own battles? Be confident in what you think and feel enough to argue it with someone else. If you don’t feel confident about it, then why do you think you’re right? And even further than that, me and Trish were two of her closest friends, and she refused to meet with us to talk about the matter. Honestly, there’s a lot of growing up to do in this situation, on her part. Instead of getting your boyfriend to argue your points, why not man up and speak with me directly? I just can’t understand the thought process. I accept people for the way that they are, this isn’t the problem. The problem is that when I feel someone has a quality that I don’t appreciate, in this case being a coward and being juvenile, it’s not really something I can get over and push aside and still feel the same way towards them. What I mean is, it’s fine for them to be that way, but I don’t want to have to deal with the drama that said characteristic brings. I want to deal with grown up individuals, who have original and solid thoughts and opinions, and conduct themselves in a way conducive to an actual friendship, rather than hide behind other people because you don’t want to admit or even talk about the fact that you may be wrong.
