Before I reclose this, let me tell you something. What have I been doing for you this whole time? Nothing but helping you. Sometimes, you have to be a bit critical, otherwise, nobody will take you seriously. Look, I'm sorry if anything I've said offends you, but come on, are you honestly going to unfriend a person just because you don't agree with what they have to say? Look, not all relationships work all the time. Some do, some don't. For the ones that don't work, it's not the end of the world. Do you think that's how all relationships work? No because if life worked that way, so many people would end up lonely and become unmarried and have no friends. Sure, you and me are different. Sure, we may have different interests, but do you think you HAVE to befriend someone that must share the same interests as you? No, you don't. In a perfect world, maybe so, but since that isn't true, one thing you need to understand is that people around me have different interests as me. Do I like the stuff they like? No. Do they like the stuff I like? Not quite, but do I still hang around them? Yes because that's what a real and true friend is: Someone who not only accepts what you believe in, but someone who can accept what you do and like, no matter how different you are to them.

Consider this: When a relationship isn't going well, whether it's between two friends or two people, how do you think the problem can be resolved? The answer isn't giving up. That's just known as walking away from the problem, and that can haunt you forever. I've tried it before and I learned I can't run away. If something is going terrible, the solution is confrontation. That's how many relationships are fixed. They confront each other, be in a private place to talk, and make ammends. Sure, a fight happened, but that shouldn't be all it takes to break up a relationship. What happens instead is that the relationship is improved by lowering trust. If you can lower trust, it shows the other person that you're serious and you're not willing to allow the same problem to happen again and if they're really a friend, they must accept what you want from them, otherwise, there's no point for them to be friends with you. Card, I'm not trying to tell you what to do, but what I'm trying to say is that I don't think it's a good idea to "part ways". That won't solve anything. You'd still be upset and I would never be at ease since my world would practically be destroyed if I don't find a solution to solve problems. If school is a problem, just tell me. If you're having personal issues, just say so and I'll understand. If something is wrong about me, you can just address it to me. I won't get upset or dislike you for it.

Card, I know there's been a lot of friction lately, but can't we just bury the hatchet and be fortunate for what life has to offer? Can't we just be people who accept each other for the flaws we have and the systems we believe in, no matter how different we truly are?
