We started off as good friends, sharing our lunches on the school bus. We belonged to different years and different backgrounds. I always knew she had a civil tongue and was a bit of a bully but liked the fact that she was on my side.
You see, when we're younger, we are so insecure with ourselves, always trying to hang around the strong ones or the cooler ones. Little do we know, that for those cool ones, that's the best they'll ever be. And if there was a reunion in 10 years time, most of them would be failures or average.
Whereas the 'uncool' ones, will be hits in university. Eccentric was made fun of at school but is what makes you popular once you start university. I always say to my friends: I wish I could back to those hormonal teenage years with my current confidence to show them a piece or 2. The reply is always: you would never have become the person you are proud of today had you not gone through all that agony in the first place.
Coming back to my story with that girl, we hit a rough spot and started hating and bitching about each other behind each other's back. I despised her so much for a long time.
I bumped into her 2 days ago, was shocked for the initial seconds but decided to go over and say hello. I guess she wasn't sure what to do because she stood there motionless for the first few seconds, then once she saw my reaction moved towards me. We embraced and it was uncomfortable for the first 10 seconds only, then it was fine. The conversation eased and it was nice chatting with her.
We even swapped numbers.
Amazing, what once was a hatred relationship, might go back to being just fine.

And this is what I aspire to happen with all the other people. One by one, I am coming across people from my past life whom I had issues with, and although some nasty and others slightly bitter, I am facing my demons one by one and the problems are somehow resolving. And it seems like La Vache is also part of the universe's plan.
Again, I think to myself, everything happens for a reason and GOD has a plan.
I leave you with some delicious takeout pizza:
Till we meet again,Sedeso
