Lyrics to match the jacket.

The feeling which goes with that is also what I thought during the last panel: What if they don’t *want* to be friends?
Friendship is a mutual thing, and maybe Best doesn’t want Byron to be his friend? Unless I’m pretty sure that it will be appreciated, I’d be fairly cautious about telling someone that I’m their friend, because that implies that I expect them to be mine.

God. Thats too real. I am currently trying to forgive two people who I am angry at because they wronged me/my loved ones, but its been a lot harder to let go of this anger because I know that I also didn’t behave the way I wanted to. Its weird how much harder that really is.

Although maybe its not entirely irrational. I don’t want to put myself into positions where I am going to behave in ways that I don’t want. I’m not sure if their behavior has changed in ways that make that not a risk anymore (short version: a big part of the wrong that was done was actively misleading people, so its hard for me to trust)….. I dunno. A lot to sort though. (also, obviously my actions are on me, not trying to push it off on other people, but I don’t want to set myself up for failure either)

“…And I want you to know that my feelings are true; I really love you–”

“Uhh… stay where you are, Byron.”

“Not what I meant.”

So very true. It’s related to the common observation that the flaws in others we condemn the most vehemently are, often, the very flaws we ourselves have. There’s a tendency to recognize those flaws of ours at least semi-consciously, and then to protect our pride and our egos, and avoid the hard work of atonement, by externalizing them.
