It was good to see an old friend

February 2, 2013 

 

I met a friend from my former workplace for the first time in almost 10 years.

She was a fun, optimistic and loving mother of three. She was so nice that I should have kept in touch but I barely did. I got married right after I quit the job. I have been through a lot since. I totally lost confident and I was afraid to meet anyone. So I lost in tough with the other ex co-workers but her. Although we have only exchanged a new year card once a year saying, "Hi, hopefully we will meet this year" for 10 years, without meeting. 

However, this year, I made up my mind and emailed her finally. I thought I was ready for meeting the old friend.

There fore, I met her today.

She haven't changed a bit, both outside and inside. She is optimistic as ever. She has also been through huge but seemed to get over everything. I admire her. She brought her doughter. She turned 17 going on 18. Whoa, she was a little kid at that time but now, look at her, she became so mature! She has grown looking at her mother. That's why she became a thoughtful nice girl now. Wow, I am so touched.

We had fun chatting today.  I was so right to contact her this time.

When I was positive, I think I was surrounded by many nice people.  However when I turned to be negavite people tend to be a kind of harsh on me. I guess it depends on my attitude but not the people's fault. Being myself is the key to have good relationship, so I learnt.

It was the last day of the Spanish class for this month. I want to praise myself for continuing because it has been almost 2 years since started! 

We are done with basic Spanish grammar and a bit of daily conversation. Now we are translating an article from BBC Mundo. It is really good for me to get used to Spanish word order and the structure of sentences. What is more, I can learn some academic stuffs at the same time!

 

knitting

My neighbor lent me a book for how to knit. 

	手編みであったか、シンプルな犬のふだん着―お散歩が楽しくなる、小型犬ウエア&グッズがたくさん!
	クリエーター情報なし
	河出書房新社

Knitting was not at all my interest. I don't know why, I happened to feel motivated so I bought some wool yarn and needles. Do you think I can make a woolen sweater for Jack? Do you think it is possible even if I haven't done knitting since I was 10? At the time what I was able to make was only a rectangle stuff like a scarf...

friends

As a matter of fact, I have been tired of relationships with people. By reading the former post "moral harassment", you will understand why. 

I am reluctant to talk about myself to other people. I can't tell anyone about anything, from my interests to the things I worry about, because I am scared of what they would think after lestening to me. You may think I am too obsessed. I know! But I can't stop myself from worrying!

However, something has changed in me recently. Maybe I am getting over it. I guess it was good for me to quit my job. So I gathered my courage and told some friends about a bit of my real self. 

Actually I was terrified to death until I got their reply. It turned out they were very kind, warm and supportive. I sighed in relief. 

In the past, I was so naive that I hardly doubt every single people in the world. I used to think that every relationship depends on my attitude. If the relationship didn't go well, I thought it would be me who should make it better. If I did wrong, of course I should. But there actually are some people who try to trick you and take advantage of you. 

Now I learnt that I must sense spitefulness. I should prepare for it before I get harmed. Those kind of people are not so many and I guess I can find it.

Also I learnt that I should be dignified. I used to behave cowardly so those people tried to give me a final blow. I should have fight back if I thought it was unfair.

Anyway, I realized I don't have to be afraid of all the people. Most of them are sensible like those who gave me a warm reply. I want to thank them, really appreciate it.
