The story behind today's cryptic title is taken from the dramatic musical 'Mack And Mabel', a story between an actress and her film director - they fall in love, he wants different things, blah blah blah...anyway, she ends up leaving him, heartbroken, and sings 'Time Heals Everything' in a vain attempt to tell herself that she will get over him eventually. However, by the time he decides that he does love her, she's died.
Not that this isn't a morbid post or anything, just felt that I haven't really posted on here for a while and since I was feeling pretty nostalgic today, figured I might as well get back to writing.
I wonder how many of you who are reading this post have lost contact with people, people who you called friends. I wonder whether you ever had an argument and just never really reconnected, or whether one day...they just stopped. Stopped texting, calling, tweeting, posting or messaging you on facebook. It's like they've vanished off the face of the earth, or - to bring a bit of magic into it - they're wearing an invisibility cloak, only for you. I wonder whether any of you ever wish you could have changed what you did, if only to have them back in your life. I wonder whether you miss them.
Because it happened to me. And to be totally honest, it hurts. I never knew what I did wrong, whether someone had told them a lie or spread a rumor about me saying something about them...but either way, it stopped. I'm not really sure what to do in these situations. I messaged her a couple of times, and eventually left it at "I don't know what I did wrong, or why you've stopped messaging me, but it's fine. I hope we're still friends." Personally, I'm not sure she's going to respond. I'm upset because I've known her for years - she's been there through several of my dramas, and vice versa, and now to get total radio silence from her is a little hurtful.
I'm going to use a little metaphor just to make some sort of sense, especially to myself. I imagine the whole scenario as the problem being a river. It's too deep to wade across, too powerful to swim across. Right now, the only way seems to be to dig a tunnel underneath the river, with the full knowledge that at some point the river will break the tunnel and flood it.
I guess the whole point of this post was just to enquire whether there's anyone else out there who's been through this sort of stuff? And also to tell you that it's a hard process, one which you'll never fully understand and yet, one day, you'll come out through the other side, out of the tunnel under the river, look back, and think, 'Why didn't I just build a bridge?'
Let me know what you think!
