I guess what happened today could be ..kinda.. I guess... considered a partial breakthrough. I'm far too afraid that I'm jumping the gun, but... finally, after talking, they've decided to reconcile. As friends. Awkward friends, maybe, but friends nonetheless.
For the 1st time ever, I've felt myself bearing the burden of a issue for which I played the role of the devil's advocate, UN peacekeeping force, or merely just plain relationship counsellor. And with this burden comes responsibility-heavy responsibility. For the first time ever, I was tasked with keeping the calm at both ends- alone.
I was far too afraid to try this myself, but for a close friend of mine, I did. I don't know why the hell I was even so impulsive, because I know one wrong move and I could have seriously hurt the already-brittle and fragile equillibrium I've fought long and hard to attain between the 2 parties. But for some reason, things worked out. It wasn't even as long a battle as I thought it would be ( there I go again, jumping the gun) and this seemed to end pretty quickly. I guess you could say I'm glad that it ended quickly, because this being my 1st case, I was inexperienced, disorganised and basically, disoriented.
Within a span of a week, maybe 2 weeks, the skies had cleared. And now I see some light. Overwhelming sense of relief both for them.
That aside, I'm facing an issue of my own too. Maybe it's God's will. I don't know. I'll just have to see how this goes.
