Our group was formed last year when we’re still in Grade 11. Now that we’re already in Grade 12, lots of conflict have arised. Well,misunderstandings are normal in a friendship. We became set apart. One member of the group separated herself from us. We didn’t confronted her so days passed by that we’re just acting normal with each other as if there’s no problem. We can approach one another but the closeness is not like before anymore. Until our retreat came. She shared something infront which really striked us so we decided to talk to her and have a mini open forum at night. So on the second night of our retreat, we grabbed the opportunity to be with her and have some time to talk. We first played games, shared some stories with our other classmates. After that, we gathered to room 118. It’s already late that time that’s why we started right away when we got inside the room. Then, we shared our thoughts, opened up the things that we don’t like with one another, apologized, and told everything that’s inside of us. She cried and cried while telling us her feelings that night but then thank God that we all ended up fine and released from everything. We forgave one another and resolved our conflicts well. We woke up together because we all slept in the same room. Then, the third day of our retreat came. We’re about to go home but we stopped first at SM San Pablo for us to take our lunch. Our group bonded through eating our lunch meals in McDo which is the fastfood restaurant where our group and the friendship was formed during our Grade 11 days. I felt glad seeing our group complete and as one again. I believe that our friend who separated herself from us is so happy as well because she doesn’t feel alone anymore and that everything is fine now. Friendship is always being tested and the bond, moments, and memories that we created together are the things which pushed us to fight still for the friendship and most especially for the person. If you’re having a conflict with your friends, resolve it right away. Don’t wait for the time that you’ll have a regret because you don’t fixed your issues with each other immediately. Think of the happy moments you guys created together, forgive one another, and begin again.
