Should Old Aquaintence Be Forgot?

I've been getting a lot of gossip lately about people who would consider themselves to be "former friends" of mine. I just have one thing to say about that. I don't have any "former friends". As far as I'm concerned, if any of these "former friends" who others seem to think I HATE came to me, I would treat them the same as any other friend of mine.

Maybe it's just me. I just don't like it when other people perpetuate a concept that I hold anyone in contempt when I don't. I mean, sure... there are those in my history who I've had... disagreements with, but that doesn't mean I don't still consider them friends. Just because we haven't spoken in a while doesn't mean I don't still love them like I used to.

Heck, most of these so-called "former friends" are people who have helped me through some of the most difficult times of my life. That means a lot to me. It really does.

So for any of you "former friends" who read this: I still love you. I'd still love to hear from you. I still worry about you, wonder if you're okay. And for those of you who I've hurt in the past, I'm sorry.
