It was a good day yesterday. There was a tough hour or two last night when a gossipy rumor surfaced and some serious drama could have ensued. But I fired back and was blunt about the correct story and how infuriated I was. It was a third party who didn't have the whole story, who for NO reason told a fourth party, who I had already told the short version of the story months ago, and now they wanted to know the real story. I was so angry.
I'm proud of myself because even though I was angry and let it be known, I never insulted them. I was very clear about the real situation and how angry I was about this happening, but I never said anything mean to them. It wasn't their fault, it was the other person's, but I did say that you should have just believed me the first time. I was hurt.
I'd still like to give the person who caused that fiasco a piece of my mind. I'm still mad at them. There was no need for it to happen and it seems like it was a vengeful lashing out action. The real story involves a relationship between me and someone else. I made the mistake of telling the troublemaker something months ago about it and all I gave was a summary and why the relationship eventually ended. It was for another reason entirely and had nothing to do with the first part. I told the fourth party involved the story of why the relationship ended.
Yesterday I found out that the third party had told the fourth party why the relationship had ended and their story was a embellished version of the first thing. I was so angry. That had had nothing to do with it and I confirmed that when I asked the other person in the relationship if they'd been honest with me as to why they'd ended it.
I'd never had a moments doubt about it and I still didn't yesterday. They confirmed the truth and were just as mad as me about the sudden and unnecessary drama. It was infuriating. Just thinking about it I want to tear the second party's hair out. I want to yell at them. It was just so wrong. Hurtful.
Thank God, It's over now. As the second party said "It's over. We stomped it out". Yes, we did. It was a sudden brushfire from someone with a penchant for arson and we kicked that fire's butt.
We were a good team. Sometimes I wish we still were. Ahh, well. We're still friends and that is more than enough for me. I would have been devastated if the friendship wasn't strong enough to survive the break up.
Well I can't dwell on that any longer. I really would get too worked up about it.
I'm off now to work on my binders. It's calming. I really like it.
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. -John 14:27
What wonderful words those are.
