\"Friendship<\/a>I just got an e-mail from a dear old friend of mine that was short and sweet. All it said was, “I’m into it!” and it made my day.<\/p>\n

See, I had a bad fight with my best friend a few years ago. It was actually my fault — at first. I did something unintentionally stupid that made her extremely mad, and I apologized. She yelled at me and didn’t accept my apology, and after I apologized three more times and she continued yelling, well \u2026 at that point I got mad, too.<\/p>\n

She is a fiery Leo, and that hot temper is pretty typical. And while I’m not a Leo, I do have a Leo Rising and that roaring Lion is a huge part of my own personality, too. Which means my temper may take a little bit longer to heat up, but it can definitely come to a raging boil if I’m pushed far enough.<\/p>\n

You know what else is typical of Leo? Going ice cold and walking away — maybe forever — if you perceive you’ve been wronged. Which is what my best friend and I both did after that fight.<\/p>\n

We didn’t speak for six months, until we bumped into each other at a mutual friend’s dinner party and said a polite-yet-still-mad “hi.” Then another six months went by and something terrible happened to me.<\/p>\n

When the love of my life walked out on me abruptly and cruelly about a year after I lost my best friend, I broke down. And when word got back to my former best friend a few months after it happened, and she heard the pain I was in, she finally began to soften and come back around. Then so did I.<\/p>\n

For the past two years we have each been making slow, awkward steps to repair a friendship that once meant so much to both of us. But we’re doing it like Leos, so it’s going to take a long time to get back to where we were — if we ever do.<\/p>\n

We’ve gone for drinks a couple of times, and chatted politely at friend’s parties. But there’s still such a huge gap that wasn’t there before, and it always makes me sad because I miss her so much. Yet Leos have such pride (some think it’s arrogance, but it’s really pride) that it’s very difficult for some of us to ever forgive and forget — even when we want to.<\/p>\n

But the good news is, I sent out an email the other day asking a group of friends if they wanted to sign up for a class with me, and she just wrote back “I’m into it!”<\/p>\n

So maybe we’re slowly on our way back. And maybe if we didn’t each have so much Leo energy, it wouldn’t have taken this long.<\/p>\n
