For starters just so everyone knows, I am not the best at keeping my cool in stressful situations, or one to keep my mouth shut. I like to tell people what I think in the smartest way that I can think of: a heightened vocabulary type of bashing. I have never been so heated with some friends as I am now and it bothers me that only a couple people bother to notice that I’m pretty upset.
I don’t like to point fingers but as far as I know friends are there for each other. You help them out in times of need and they do the same for you. They bring you up when you’re down and you do the same. I’ve always felt that I was a giver. I like to give to other people. Sometimes I do too much and other times I feel I don’t do enough. Either way, I do try.
Friends, however many (or lack thereof) that you may have, are the key to a balanced existence. Without that, life is nothing. Men haven’t been a constant in my life so I can’t say thats a key to existence, because its not.
Which brings me to the point at hand. Sometimes when people fall in love or remain in love with someone, they forget the world around them. They live in their world and don’t step beyond the shadows of their hand. Love shouldn’t restrict you, it should free you. It should make you feel at ease, maybe bring peace.
It shouldn’t bind you from life or the beauty of everything else around it.
I thought that I was once in love, but that turned into a sour apple really quick. I forgot about my good friends that were there for me since I was a wee kiddie and it cost me big time. Never again will I sacrifice my friends for a bout with jerkface red headed lust. (I should have stole that Firebird when I had the chance >:)
Point is, it isn’t nice to be passed over in favor of a love interest… all the time. I understand that people are together for a reason and need to spend some time together… but not every waking moment.
My final thought:
Don’t let love encompass friendship. When love breaks your heart, friends are the ones that are there that put it back together again.
