Let Me Tell Everyone A Story · 11:57pm Nov 2nd, 2016
There was this girl. She was.. really everything I had ever wanted. She was kind, funny, smart, beautiful as hell and nobody had ever made me as happy as she did. There was a problem, though, a rather big one at that. During the time I was talking to this girl, she was dating my best friend. And I mean best friend. The girl went back and forth with us; she couldn't ever seem to make up her mind. I was blind at first to see that the situation was never going to end in a happy ending. But lo and behold, I and the girl start dating, devastating my best friend and sending them into a pretty harmful emotional spiral. I and my friend stopped talking after a few arguments, and I went on to be with this girl for a fantastic number of 2 months.. Then I was really alone. I lost a girl I loved, and I lost a really good friend that I loved too.
That was a sad story huh? Well, I have another one for you.
About a week ago, I went on a little trip. I didn't have a destination at the time, I just wanted to get away. About 7pm I found myself sitting in front of my former friend's house, missing and wishing I could hang out with them again, or just text them 'Hello', or anything. I almost lost myself, almost broke down. Then something clicked inside, causing me to hop myself out of the car and make my way to their door. I was tired of missing them, of hurting them. I wanted to make everything right again. So when they answered the door, I told them I wanted to talk.
I don't remember how much I apologized that night, but I think I got my point across to them because we are now talking again. There is still some distance, I feel it, but this is a healing process. It feels good to be able to talk to them again. I really did miss them, and now I don't have to.
I kept asking them if we were friends again, and they always said it would take time, but I was growing back on them. But tonight I feel really sealed the deal.
I was talking to them and they said to keep an eye out on my FIM feed. Soon enough, there was a blog post from them, containing this image.
I cried. I legitimately cried when I saw this. So many emotions at once. I wanted to hug them, never let go, apologize again and again even still. I know I still have ways to go but damn I'm still so sorry for what I did.
I lost sight at the time of what friendship means. So I have vowed never to choose a lover over any friend. I was in so much wrong. I'm sorry.
So Pearl, if and when you see this, once again I am sorry. I'm sorry for tearing yours and Sara's relationship apart. I'm sorry for hurting you and saying every mean thing I said to you and just I'm sorry for everything okay?
You truly are my best friend in this world. I don't want to live in a world without you again.
So there's my story.

Ouch man, I feel for you.
That picture made me say 'Aw, that's so cute!' Out loud.
I hope this never ever happens to you, or anyone else again.
I wish my old friends would do that.
You did the right thing by trying to fix things. I'm glad that you two were able to reconsile.
My god, that was such a touching story...I hope your friendship gets rekindled
