It can be hard to stand up for yourself and go against the current no matter the topic. So in that way I can understand why it'd be hard for her to do it, and in another way I applaud you for standing up for yourself and doing it anyway. I think whether you confront her or not will help define your character and the character you have when confronted in these situations. At the end of the day, you have to be the one to live with your decisions. <br /><br />Don't let your friends harsh words strike you down. We all make mistakes and what sets you apart from others is the fact that you're aware and you're quite clearly to me striving for a difference. It can be hard for people to co-exist these two identities you have: then and now. Sometimes they just don't see what you feel and how you've changed, how you've grown. That's not on you, that is truly them. Maybe they'll see the change and maybe they won't. And I'm definitely not encouraging what I'm about to say... but don't be afraid to let people go. It's hard, it is oh so achingly hard. Especially when they're close, as close as siblings. But people change, people grow, and sometimes people do not want to acknowledge that. <br /><br />I'm glad you're focusing on yourself and you felt comfortable with your decision for the dance :) Sorry for maybe coming across a little too know it all or Dr Phil, but what you've written just resonates with me because I've felt those emotions before and still do now. You're never alone in this, Leah. I'm glad you have friends like Sydney, I'm definitely checking her out now too. <br /><br />All the best,<br />Ellen.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://elleosophy.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Elleosophy</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05313479884291199749noreply@blogger.com
