Mismatched

I had this friend that not many people liked.  I liked her.  She was loud, somewhat rude and valued her opinions over everyone elses.  She didn't like others to have their opinions and was stubborn.  These were but a few of her strengths.  I was in awe of her for she dared to be true to herself.  She taught me the importance of that.  One day she broke my heart when she turned her words on me, "It's always about you," she said.  She won't ever say that to me again for she taught me that when someone breeches a trust and cuts you intentionally, they don't get to do it again.  I used to miss her.  I still think of her from time to time and scratch my head as I wonder, "What's it really all about."
