Friends (How to keep them)
Life sometimes sucks. When you go to school you make close relationships with others and you think that these people will always be their for you. The sad truth is some of them will betray you and some will distance there selves from you and you no longer exist in their life and therefore they no longer care about your well being. I sadly admit to doing the same thing. All we really have is family and I hate most of my family except for my father and aunt. If I make new friends I will tell them that they will have a life long friend in me and I expect nothing less of them. I don't think we were meant to have friendships because the bottom line is self preservation. I would like to make friends knowing that they will eventually hurt me but I will forgive them because that is what friends do, I know that might sometimes be conflicting with my self preservation because I knowingly open myself up to certain pain in the future. But life is no fun when you are alone. I will gladly take a chance to having a fuller life.

good post sweetie. and so true. My best friend of 25 years actually walked out of my life after I was diagnosed with panic disorder 6 years ago. I wasn\'t the FUN GIRL I used to be and she said she couldn\'t deal with me having the panic disorder. Needless to say, that hurt. ( understatement ). I think everyone has lost friends at one time or another. It is never an easy thing, but sometimes I do believe that it is for the best. Sometimes you come to realize that the friendship just wasn\'t meant to be. Sometimes people change and move on. Yes, when you become friends with someone there is a sort of \' opening yourself\' up for future pain, but I also agree with you, it\'s worth that risk. really, the bottom line is \' in order to have a good friend you have to be a good friend\'. I am blessed to have your friendship. You are TRULY a good friend.
Luv and hugs ~~
