Yes!

Today, I made my own decisions. Not that I don't usually, but I think my problem in the past has been I've been making decisions because of things I hear, things I've seen in movies, or read in books. Well, my life doesn't ever work out the way those do, and I don't need to live like that. Yesterday, I did something irrational and stupid. It made me lose one of my best friends. First, I was fine with it. Two hours later, I realized I was a real dummy. I thought about it, and decided I should wait about a month before approaching that person again. Give it time to settle, and so that they wouldn't think I was desperate.
Then, a few hours later, I realized that was practically the most idiotic notion I've ever had. Why, if I was already unhappy, would I let it go a month before I decided to finally say how I really felt? So after sleeping on it, I decided to just go for it. So, since I wasn't ever able to talk to them in person, and not being able to wait any long, I sent a five text message long explanation of how I felt. How I had realized I was being stupid, and how I wanted things to go back to the way they were.
My friend was completely understanding. There was no need to go into any specifics on what the issue was and they didn't question me at all about why I had changed. They just believed me. And that is how I know this person is a great friend that I hope to have in my life a long time. Because a good friend is always ready to take you back. And they don't need a month.
I'm just really happy that I just said what I needed to say. It makes me happy that I know I have the ability to speak, even when I'm afraid of the outcome. I don't need anyone's approval, and I don't always need to know what is going to happen because of what I say or do. It wasn't exactly an impulsive thing. More of a planned impulse I suppose. And it was oh so worth it.
