So it’s my co worker’s birthday today.
Now, this might seem like a great thing, but to me, it’s really hard. Over the past few months our friendship/relationship went from sharing-everything-pretty-much-BFFs to her being super malicious and hurtful towards me. In all of this, I’m trying desperately to be the bigger person - despite being hurt over and over again.
So some people in the office are putting together something for her birthday and is asking everyone to send in a memory or something that we like about her.
I’ve had an email draft up almost all day and each time I go to write something, I can’t finish because I know it’s not true.
“She’s always got your back…” Well, no…
“She’s a support system..” In fact, quite the opposite in recent months…
I know I need to send something in, but I really don’t know what. My favorite memories of her were when she was a different person towards me. And I don’t know what to do with that, partially because I haven’t reconciled the fact that we are not friends anymore and the hurt hasn’t gone away.
Well, I guess I have a few more hours til my deadline is up. Wish me luck.
