From where we are

Sometimes things can't be undone. A friend of mine did an unkind and hurtful act several months ago. Naturally, there were apologies and acceptances...but now we're not as close. Despite our best intentions, we no longer feel the same toward each other. There's an old saying about how we might forget what a person does, but we never forget how they make us feel. This is a validation of that. It's sad, but you go on from where you are, and you lose people along the way.

I've never liked this. I always wanted to bring everyone along. But that's not how it works. And who knows? The future might bring a renewal of the friendship. I learned a long time back to never say never since the universe has a way of making us eat those words. But for now, we go on from where we are.
