I'm in a bit of a funk today. As usual, it all culminates in the final hours of our weekend off in a fit of frustration and tearful drama. I hate drama, but you can partly blame my hormones - damn pregnancy hormones. These moodswings are not a walk in the park, I can tell you that.
I'm frustrated on so many levels and at so many things. There is a certain person in my life whom I don't see often but who manages to piss me off on at least a once weekly basis. She basically makes me mad in every way, yet it's one of those relationships you have a hard time cutting off completely. Because every now and then, they redeem themselves for the time being, then the cycle starts over again. It seems a good way to cut off a relationship without being a total bitch about it (a public bitch, anyway) and without totally severing any bridges is to back off gradually, with less and less contact over time so that the other party doesn't really notice if it's been a month or two since they last heard from you, then six months fly by unnoticed, then finally a year. But if you do happen to bump into them, you can just blame the distance on being busy. Brilliant, right? And only secretly bitchy.
I am simply of the opinion that toxic friends who seem to seek out ways to make you angry are not worth having. Is that so wrong? Of course not. Oprah said so.
