FASHION PULIS: Goodbye friend

Published Sep 11, 2021 12:25 pm

Once trust is broken, bringing it back will be hard. Apparently, the friendship of Glib Personality (GP) and Loquacious Figure (LF) was broken due to a trust violation. Behind cameras, celebrities form bonds that go beyond their professional relationships. GP and LF found themselves talking and forming ties in the midst of their showbiz commitments.

When GP and LF realized they had many things in common, their bonding strengthened. The two became close and their friendship was no secret in the entertainment industry. As the two became comfortable with each other, LF revealed many of her deepest secrets that even included sensitive topics about her family. After unburdening herself to GP, LF reminded her friend that her revelations should be kept in confidence. GP should never ever talk to others what LF told her. Corollary to the request, GP was accorded the same agreement. GP spilled much tea as well.

One day, GP was entertaining a few friends. GP was groggy that day, but that did not stop her from talking. Horrors. GP started to talk about LF’s secrets. Her friends listened intently. However, GP did not say to them to keep quiet and not pass on the story to others. GP forgot that one of those friends (OF) was a friend of LF.

OF then asked LF about the stories GP revealed. LF was shocked as she remembered saying to GP to keep everything to herself. LF was hurt and stopped returning the calls and messages of GP. GP realized that her conversations with OF might have reached LF. GP asked OF but she was too late. No amount of apology could soften LF anymore. Friendship was over.

Early Regret

Versatile Actress (VA) poured her sentiments about her professional decision to her Best Friend (BF). While BF stayed put in her network, the two continued their closeness. BF was surprised that VA was feeling restless. When VA realized she wanted to explore other options, she asked her manager if she could be part of a network. Her new home immediately gave her a project amidst lockdown restrictions.

Nonetheless, VA was unimpressed with the work conditions of her project. She felt the production team was cold towards her and they seemed stressed out as well. VA was under the impression that many were tired and unhappy. Some were not even sleeping. VA added that the finished project might be substandard or lacking quality. She feared absorbing the negative energy surrounding her. BF then joked that VA ought to wait when one of her scenes become a viral meme.  

BF reminded VA that once her contract is over, she could move to where she could be happy. Besides, as long as she did not burn bridges, she could take advantage of professional opportunities. Thus, VA expressed hope that she could return to where she once belonged.

‘You can never regret anything you do in life. You kind of have to learn the lesson from whatever the experience is and take it with you on your journey forward.’ − Aubrey O'Day
