My Journey To Normality (Part 1)

So I met up with my old school friend and we talked for about three hours. We caught up on what had happened in our lives the last year and also discussed some other topics, like my relationship with Luke. She seems like she's generally matured and is over the drama and attention seeking. Most of our mutral friends don't realise we've actually known eachother since we were four years old and didn't just meet in secondary school. Before she started being fake and attention seeking she was a really lovely person and I saw that side of her again today. I just hope I'm right and she's not playing me for information.

Before I even brought up Luke she said it seemed like he put up a front and could sometimes get a little bit aggressive. I felt so relieved when she said that because it meant it wasn't all in my head and she had seen glimpses of the Luke I knew. I told her the truth of what happened because before that all she had to go on was what he had said, which was just a lot of bad things about me. I added her on all social media accounts, as you do and not even ten minutes after that Luke messages her after seeing I've followed her on Instagram. It's been nearly a year since we broke up and he's still obsessed with me and stalking me online. Anyway I think this is a start of a new friendship, though I'm still cautious to trust her.

Even though I'm excited about having another friend in my life Mandy doesn't like the idea of it. I completely understand why, this girl did bully her. I used to get bullied a lot as well, to the point where I had to hide behind a bush to avoid things being thrown out the bus at me. However I know that holding onto that hate does nothing but hurt yourself. Even with the people who have abused me I have learnt to forgive and move on. Those people have moved on and most likely have no idea how much they hurt you so why hurt yourself with all that anger and hate. Mandy has come so far this year and I hate seeing her being pulled down by this negativity and it's not just this one girl she holds a grudge for, it's a lot of other people too. Obviously it's something for her to work out in her own time and she can be very stubborn.
