Wow...a bit angry in that last entry! This is one of the dangers of writing things down. :-)
I just wanna let you all know that I'm better now. I've calmed
down. I've since talked to my Best Friend and again, like we always do, we've
made up and made our conciliatory gestures. Hell, I've even got some
space in that closet now -- now I can stow my winter blanket and a few
other things that have been simply getting in the way in my room.
When I get mad, I get really mad...which is why I try not to get to
that point. Best Friend and I tend to yell at each other quite a bit.
However, it's not unproductive even if at first it comes across as such.
Through all the loudness, we're both actually listening. We're similar
in that neither of us want to concede when we're both hot. It's most
frustrating, but cooler heads ultimately and always prevail with
us...even if it takes a day or two. We both know what we did wrong and
apologize for it and move on from it. That's what we do. Our fights are
not our proudest moments, but we do get ultimately closer as a result.
No matter what I say about Best Friend here, I love her and I have for a very
long time. We're not going anywhere. We'll continue to learn how to work
together and how to live together and neither of us will ever abandon
the other. That's how it is and how it will continue to be.
I
thank you for your sympathies when I'm mad, but just know that that's
all it is...anger. I will calm down and see the situation more clearly.
Please understand that I would never have stayed with her for as long as
I have if she were truly as bad as I make her out to be. No news truly
is good news and anger is prone to exaggeration. I'm sure you all have
your own horror stories :-)
'Til next time.....
