Last night a friend had me in tears, before you go knocking on her door and smashing her face in, 😆let me tell you about it. We were chatting about last weekend, and why I was almost a no - show at the National. She said "On no, I would have really missed you had you not turned up, and since we are being soppy," she said " I want to thank you for your friendship and for always having my back." WOW, I could feel myself getting emotional, but she continued, " you are such a great friend, a nice, kind person and you never judge me for all my faults and regular mistakes. " Well hell, that is how it should be between friends, isn't it? I feel blessed to have her, and many others in my life too ... sometimes I've no idea how I'd function without being able to rant to my mates.
Recently there has been unrest between two of my friends, and though they are both still getting on at the shows, the tension is sadly obvious. I've heard both sides of the story, and they speak as they found it and as it affected them. According to Robbie and Gary there are always three versions of a story, "Yours and mine and then the truth." The truth is somewhere in between both versions, but no one is lying; they are simply relaying it as they experienced it. Anyway I've listened to both, and all I can say to them is to keep themselves safe from further hurt by building that barrier just a little bit higher. It's not worth losing the friends, but self preservation is paramount.
