I got a call this morning from last night when I was asleep, and the call was from someone that I was not currently speaking to. The reasons behind me not speaking to this person is not important, however I had asked the person to give me some space, that I would contact that person when I was ready. Over the course of time the person did not respect my wishes and they kept calling; even tho I had asked for space.

The voice message said “I don’t know if this even matters to you, but I am leaving town. I am trying to spend time with all my friends before I leave. This is the last time I am going to call you. I can’t keep calling someone who doesn’t want to talk to me.” Now if you ask someone to give you space and they completely disregard your request and then leave you this message what would you do/say? Well I’ll tell you what I did.

I sent a text message to that person and said that God had told me that I needed to forgive them and that I had, but I thought that the message that they left on my voice mail was rude. And I asked them if they thought that was going to make me call them.

What I got back was more of the same reason I was not speaking to them in the first place. That person thinks only of themself, and yet again did not take my feelings or thoughts into consideration at all. The text message back said that the voice mail that they left was not meant to be rude that it was honest.

Now I can concede that the message was honest, however stating at the beginning of the voicemail “I don’t know if this even matters to you” is rude, because I had told that person in the first place that I would speak them when I was ready and not before. Also if they had allowed me time as I had requested I probably would have talked to that person, so it wouldn’t have been that I didn’t want to talk to them.

More argument continued after this and that person was trying to be hurtful to me by disrespecting my spiritual beliefs. But you know I shrugged it off because if they can’t respect something I had asked for in the first place they would never respect anything I said.

I lost a friend today but I am just fine with that. Anyone that tells me they never asked for forgiveness shows a lack of maturity that is necessary for an adult relationship. I told that person that since they said they are through with me that I would not be contacting them anymore and to have a good life. I hope that person can learn to grow up and become a better person, maybe when that person does they will see I wasn’t asking for much.
