I have never claimed to be the perfect person, child, sister, human being, etc. I never claimed to be virtuous beyond all reason or pure/innocent. Of the few good friends I have had at my side, I have never felt compelled to explain that fact to them. But someone this weekend shattered that bond. Someone this weekend insulted me beyond repair. And the fact of the matter is not that you meant something else, the fact is you said what you said...one thing to one person could mean something entirely different to another. So, regardless of what you meant, you said it in a rather inappropriate manner. I didn't appreciate your tone or your righteousness! (Yes, righteousness)
I no longer care to justify my actions to you and if you don't want to hear about them, then don't listen and I'll make a consorted effort to remember that when you are present that you are not one for blatant honesty or uninhibited conversation. And I say blatant and uninhibited because that is how I feel my friendships should be, I don't feel that I should have to hide my personality from you or anyone else. Of all my friends, you are the only one that turns up their nose at my chosen extracurricular activities. So, your "respect" for me is no longer pertinent.
