of what little faith left

i'm learning to breathe, i'm learning to crawl, i'm finding that you and you alone can break my fall ... i'm living again, awake and alive. i'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies - switchfoot

Sometimes all you can afford to do is just snap.

I had a fight with a friend last night.

To water it down by trying to be poetic here is stupid and insensitive, so I'm not going to. But I had to let some things out, and so I told that person what had frustrated me about the past few weeks and how things were wrong.

Naturally, it was ugly. No fight isn't.

I don't usually let my feelings out for fear of hurting the other person. I'm not confrontational. Confrontation brings out my most unreasonable side.

"I might as well apologize in advance because I'm going to be my most unreasonable person ever."

But some things just need to be said.

It was either that or complain about it to someone else and prolong my resentment for that person. And trust me, I know what it's like to resent a person for extended periods of time and constantly complain. It's one of the worst things I've ever done. I'm still trying to patch up this one friendship I had ruined because I resented that person and burned bridges for more than two years.

If you're reading this, I just want you to know that you mean so much to me that I would never ever want to resent you. That's why I had to tell you those things, harsh as they were.

I don't resent you anymore.
