Today has me thinking a lot about friendship, and what it means to me. This is something I've never taken lightly, but I always end up in the same predicament. I believe that true friends are hard to find, but that doesn't mean I should stop looking. I want to surround myself with people that love and support me, and I'll be there to do the same for them. So why do I always end up becoming friends with those that are only in the relationship for a profit/gain? Whatever I have to offer, they want ten times more. Regardless of how that leaves me in the end, they just want more. I am sick of the sarcastic remarks, the endless requests, and the ridiculous amount of negativity that comes from your mouth. Please leave, thank you.
Now, if only it were that easy. While I may be blunt and opinionated to a fault, I've never learned how to stand up for myself. So instead of telling the people who hurt me to go away, I'll just write about it here. Sounds like a viable option, doesn't it? Call me a wimp if you must, I'm not denying that I am. Someday I'll learn.
Diana said it best when she reminded me that Jesus was not only a loving person, he was also "super assertive".
& I think this is why I love dogs so much, you know that no matter what they won't hurt your feelings. Unless of course they leave you for your husband who has better treats.
