Ok, so here's how it goes. There's this other girl at my school who I used to argue with all the time. We didn't know each other too well, but she tried to smear my reputation, so I fought back. She was the only one I ever really fought with. We were not on good terms at all. This went on for a while.
But over the past couple of years I really started to try to be less inclined to fighting, mostly because of my religion. This made me want to put myself on good terms with the person I fought with.
So I went out of my way to be nice but never went over the top. I always made sure I said hello, made sure I was pleasant. Nothing earthshattering, just little things, and most of the time she would ignore me, even turn the other way to brush me off. Still, I tried to reconcile all the bad feelings, even though I believed that it hadn't been all my fault. My friends told me I was crazy for even trying, but I didn't want to listen. I wanted a clear conscience.
It worked, just recently she actually started talking to me and we get along fine! Of course, we're not really friends or anything, but at least we're on good terms as I had hoped for. I just thought it was amazing, 'cause there was no big scene between us like you see in movies, no huge speeches, just random little "Hi, how are you"s and stuff.
So cool.
Showed me how far a little persistance can go.
Any of you guys have something happen like this?
