Stood Up...Again

Emily has been one of my good friends for a long time. We met in 3^rd grade – it is safe to say we know each other well. Now that we don’t live close to each other, we are lucky to see each other once a year. For a while now, she has been telling me that she is coming to see me this coming weekend.

When I still lived in Rochester, Em would call and we would make plans for that evening, then she would never show. That was Em. It got tiring, so I rarely made plans with her, but when I did, she followed through since it had been a while.

So here I am, excited that I was going to see one of my good friends – and actually have time to talk. However, she hasn’t returned a single call, text, or email of mine is 16 days. If something came up and she couldn’t come, fine, I understand – just freakin’ tell me. Don’t be so disrespectful. Yesterday, I just went ahead and decided I am making plans – I am not waiting for her to call back and tell me she is or is not coming. I would rather her be honest with me than just not take my tries at contacting her. Friends don’t do that.

That is my story – Em stood my up once again. This time was the last time. I would like to be treated the way I treat others. Well I am off – work to be done, so I best start staring at it until I start doing it.
