Happy Monday to all. I hope my friends are having a good day.
Work is good and I am feeling OK. I am going through some trust issues with a new friend and I am feeling a bit hurt, angry and guarded. I wish life was like the SIMS2 and you could see little bubbles on top of peoples heads showing their real feelings. We are all so vulnerable and fragile and for anyone to take advantage of us would be a cruelity beyond belief. I hope I can be strong enough to handle the human disappointments in life. I feel I can, but I tend to think the best in people and when they disappoint me as they often do, I feel a great sadness. I have been told over and over again, I am too nice. I am sure some of you have heard that too. Why do the nice people always get used and dumped? It's probably because we love too much.
I appreciate the friendships that I have from DS so much! I have learned from all this that women here have incredible strength! It's so wonderful to watch you all grow from total despair to making it on your own. I am so proud of each and every one of you!!
Guess every day can't be great, but because of all of you I can always feel positive.
I feel better now! 
Love to all!

What kind of trust issues? Did something happen? I\'m a little confused. I would think having some trust issues is normal. But are you dating? I\'m thinking I\'m missed something LOL...fill me in????? At this point I don\'t feel like I\'ll ever truly trust anyone again, I don\'t want to be that way though...I really don\'t. And being too nice, I\'ve heard that too. I think maybe your my adopted older sister or something LOL...crazy. I just read your comments to me,you are the BEST...seriously, i bawled my eyes reading your message (a good cry though)....I know I really need to just take charge and change my negative thoughts, I do know this....I\'m just having such a hard time doing it. I KNOW that I make excuses and just stay in this same viscious circle or negative thoughts. STUPID STUPID STUPID..see, there I go again, I am not stupid, ummm better words would be...bad decisions bad decisions decisions, I guess. LOL, see I don\'t know..Its like I forgot how to think positively. YOU I am learning from though and I thank you SO much. YOU stay positive, think of how far you have come, how STRONG you have become!! YOU are amazing and beuatiful!!!!
It\'s funny but I am having some issues with someone that is supposed to be my friend. I don\'t know whether my situation has made her insecure but she has most definately changed and likes to keep putting me down. It\'s very awkard as we are going on holiday together on Saturday. Oh well, it seems a little insignificant in the whole scheme of things. We are stronger now, we can cope with everything life can throw at us.
Human emotions are the most complex things on earth to decipher without a code book, unfortunately none of come with one of those.
The next step is the open and honest approach, if you feel like you are being lied to or used, talk about it, put yourself out there get those feelings out and deal with them.
If that doesnt work and those feelings persist maybe they could be have some basis in truth or your mind could be giving you a case of emotional cold feet.
All these things have one thing in common, action on your part, and honest.
If things are meant to work out they will, a true friend will stick by you, offering you the comfort and kindness you deserve.
If not, do you really want to have this person in your life, if they are causing so many negative feelings?
You make me feel good just knowing you are doing so great.
Each revelation have or milestone you pass is a contagious happiness that makes me feel just a little bit better about my own situation and I realize, Life does go on and you can be happy again.
If I havent said it lately thanks!
Hugs!!!!
