"Momma says if you can't say something nice, then you shouldn't say anything at all."

Sometimes those simple words are just the thing we need to hear to remind ourselves that some people just genuinely suck. It's not very often I get aggravated with people in my life, yet inevitably, this is an imperfect world that can astound you with some disappointments that fall into your lap. People may not be who they seem. They may do things you disapprove of. And inevitably, everyone will meet at least one person in their lives that will give them the experience of disappointment.

Recently I had to say goodbye to a friend of mine that I'd considered incredibly close to for the last 15 years. I'd be lying to say I wasn't sad about it, but I also realize that slandering the woman would do little to help me in any way. Negativity spreads so rather than spread more anguish and layer my sad cake with regretful statements, I'll leave it with this.

I wish you the best in your life, even if it does not include me. You've your opinions and I have mine and while once we shared everything, now it seems time to part our ways. People come and go, but it's my hope that you find the people you need to make your life wonderful.

(Even though the person will never see this, sometimes it helps to just get it off my chest.)

All of that being said, I wish you all a wonderful day, if not week. You are amazing people worthy of happiness, in any way you can find it.

(Call me a hippie if you want, idc. I just want to take the bad and make it something good.)

Mazel out.
