I don't think you realized it but despite how positive the message may appear, it has negative undertones. Furthermore, one could even argue that this is altogether impersonal. I've presented an “In a nutshell” form of what I'm saying below.

In one instance, you appear to be remembering our friendship, but then a section appears that suggests you are disregarding it. “I'd usually feel sad about a friend forgetting about me, but for some reason, I feel proud.” I understand fully that one can't help how they feel, but this comes across as being haughty, most likely because it appears you are trying to defend yourself. Even though it is possible to link it up with “I feel proud because I was able to be a good friend to her for just a little while.”, because they are not together, it implicates that this pride is not the “pride” you were referring to in the second sentence of your blog post.

“'' So what if one person forgets me? There are millions of other people in the world that could potentially click with others!''” also comes across as your attempt to defend yourself and trivializing the other person (me). Furthermore, it makes it appear that while you do appear to honoring a memory, you are also at the same time trying to tell others that your standing up for yourself which, due to the juxtaposition, makes it appear as if I have wronged you and you are trying to forget it. Then of course their is the edit summary you left when making this blog post “I couldn't hold it in anymore :P”, which suggests an air of flippancy.

The feeling running through this all is that you are presenting this incident, which you have jumped to conclusions on, as a way to show others how you are seizing your own independence; it is not acknowledging a friendship and letting it go, it is all about exalting yourself and making you feel good.

Now '''WAIT! Don't write a response yet! Even though these are in my own words, I'm not saying I believe this'''. I'm saying this is how it comes across, and the truth is that this whole argument is built on conjecture. To a person that doesn't know you, this assumption is inevitable. But since I know you, and I have not seen you angry, I find it hard to believe you would actually want to do this deliberately; I don't think you would want to be subtle.

Okay, In a Nutshell: Your message comes across as wanting others to praise your independence for rebounding from a hardship instead of honoring a friendship. You should have written this down in your diary instead of revealing it publicly as to not give the negative interpretation.
