you+me=friends

Wow, it's days like today that make me extremely happy that I've made some changes in the last year.  Necessary changes.  Giving up co-dependence has been one of the changes that has most improved my existence.  Once I gave up the need to feel needed, to feel loved, to feel wanted I found a new layer of freedom and independence;  an independence built up solid ground.  People are great to have in your life, friends are even better.  However, giving too much of yourself and getting little or nothing in return isn't acceptable practices in friendship for me anymore.  That is something I gave up and NEVER intend to do again.  I pray that I never lose the understanding of love and compassion a friend should always have for another friend.  I'm burnt, but not bitter.

When I go to bed at night I sleep with ease.  There's no more longing to feel acceptance from anyone.  I have an inner peace that only comes from growth.  Growth is stimulated by realization; facing the facts.  We all have lives, some busier than others.  When you travel from a distance and make no time to see me for at least a simple 5 minutes within a month, then I say it's your loss friend.  Once upon a time I would have gone all out of my way to MAKE this fellowship between friends take place.  Like I said, thankfully some changes have taken place.
