Well...there went my confidence.

I think me and my friend’s friendship has...cracked? I guess that’s what you could say. She really hurt me and I just can’t see things getting back to how they were. See what happened doesn’t seem like a big deal, but to me it was.

Ok so I’m a senior in high school and a part of the yearbook club. And with this whole covid-19 situation, I thought it’d be interesting to include a page dedicated to that. So what I did is I made like a covid-19 timeline but instead of the usual line timeline I did a picture timeline if that makes sense. I was super proud of it and spent hours working on it. And I’m not usually that proud of stuff I do, so it was a big deal. It ended up being longer than I had thought so I needed some extra pages. Luckily, my good friend is also in yearbook and knew more about pages that we could use for other things so I asked her. Well...she gave me a little more than I asked. She ended up going into a long rant about how my timeline was too long and too detailed. She said that nobody would read it anyways so it didn’t need to have so much. She also for some reason felt it necessary to tell me the timeline I had done wasn’t what she had thought. Why that mattered I don’t know but she thought she needed to say it. So there I am, now totally crushed because my best friend has now bluntly told me she didn’t like something I worked hard on. I didn’t even ask her if she liked it! I asked her if she knew of any empty pages! And if I had asked for her opinion, I wouldn’t be as hurt. But she had no reason to tell me she didn’t like what I did. No reason. And the way she decided to say it, well it was obvious she wanted to hurt me. There were so many nicer ways she could’ve told me to shorten it. Why be cruel?

I just...I don’t know how to forgive her for it. I’m not mad per say but I’m hurt. And that’s harder for me to overcome this anger.
