Of late, a certain young lady and I have really started to become friends again. For most of our lives, we argued like "cats and dogs," according to one observer. We started out close, then a shift occurred. Now the pendulum is swinging the other way.
We laugh all the time. We hang out together, just the two of us. We do considerate things for one another. She'll treat me to drinks or food and I'll pick her up from work or whatever. We talk more. And when people come at me, she has my back! I'm not used to that...but it makes me happy that she's in my corner, like she's supposed to be. Once upon a time she was a traitor and always aligned herself with the haters, (when she herself wasn't leading the attack.) Most of the time we get along well, and I am happy to have her friendship...but I've noticed something. I can point to at least three instances where young men have done sum dead wrong things to her. At first she's like, I'm done with them. She'll even ask you for advice like she's really listening. Then the next thing you know, they're her boos again. She's about to go out with him, he just called her to talk and she obliged. I call her a stupid, wishy-washy female. She says, "I'm very forgiving."
This troubles me. It makes me wonder if she can turn that quickly, what's to stop her from flipping back out on me? If she is so forgiving, how long will it be before she's right back kickin it with the people who have decided they are anti-DevaDonna? We should be real here, her allegiance to me only came around the time she stopped being so ride or die with them....
I'd hate for things to revert to the old way, but really, there's no way of guaranteeing it won't. But in the spirit of taking things one day at a time, I'll enjoy a good thing while it lasts....
