“It’s no good trying to keep up old friendship. It’s painful for both sides. The fact is, one grows out of people, and the only thing is to face it. ”
Claude Mermet
Have you ever thought about life and how it’s constantly putting us in situations in which something has been given to us and then, later on, that same thing has been lost, stolen, in some mysterious way, simply taken from us!? Try to picture this. After 5 years of proving yourself at work, you finally get promoted. You’re happy! You are jumping out of your shoes from happiness! Of course you’re happy, you have to be. You have been waiting for this for 5 years and now it finally happened. Then imagine that one day, suddenly, out of nowhere, in your office comes this person, who is not just young and handsome (unlike you), but it’s also YOUR NEW BOSS. The next moment you are cleaning your desk, taking your stuff out of drawer… leaving your office for good. How do you feel now? Do you have something to say? And to whom? You see… That undefined feeling that’s growing somewhere deep inside of you, with each second more, is the same feeling you get when you lose a friend. It’s called helplessness. The worst feeling you can ever feel. Standing without a word, watching your beloved ones leave, turning their back from you… forever… And as you’re standing alone, in the dark street of your life, you are scared. Everything you believed in disappeared, burst in the air like a bubble made of soap. You thought you have finally found the person who understands you, loves you because of who you really are… You thought your friendship is strong like a rock and nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, can break it apart… But… Now, in the end of this road, you realize that’s not even close to the reality. It can’t be, otherwise you wouldn’t be standing here, sad and alone. Otherwise you wouldn’t be having this feeling like everything inside you is breaking apart as you’re watching them leave. Just like a window glass… I don’t know what’s with us, people, that we always want to fix things. Those that can be fixed, and even more often, those that can’t. Like… Why can’t we throw away a broken vase? We can’t save it anymore, it is ruined. Even after we repair it with super-fix glue, it will never be the same. It’ll have permanent marks that it has been broken once. Friendships are no different then vases; once destroyed, they can never be repaired again. So I think Mr. Mermet is right. If we’re aware of our situation, looking at the castle of our friendship that is slowly falling apart every day more and more, we shouldn’t be trying to find who is responsible for it. That can only bring us, as much as to that other person, more sorrow and misery than we need in our life. We deserve so much more.
