Comfortably Uncomfortable



Why do we always hurt the ones we love and care about the most? Is it because we are comfortable enough to show them our flaws? Are we more willing to express and reveal sides to ourselves that we tend to hide from those we are trying to impress? Should we stop trying to impress those we think know us best? Or should we care enough to try and take the next step up the latter of becoming a better person in the eyes of those we love?

There have been internal problem between my best friends lately; things were said, feelings were hurt and relationships were almost ruined. I've been trying my best to be the mediator, but things can't be resolved when both ends are being stubborn. Finally, for the first time, the three of us got together to work things out. Things were said, but nothing was entirely resolved. It scares me how fickle friendships can be, even friendships that have withstood the test of time and countless obstacles. At any moment, with any incident no matter how large or small, everything can change. On the surface, I feel like we're trying to make it seem like things have calmed down, and though I would love to believe that, logic reminds me that we're probably still two steps behind where we usually are. I've done all that I can, and I will continue to fight, but for now, only time will tell...
