Just Sharing

Where to start...by the way, I am no expert on this topic. But I have learned a couple of things along the way. First off, you can't force them, they just happen. That is the way they go. They may leave you quicker than you had wish, or they may linger longer than you would like.
It is very difficult to deal with losing relationships that you wish to keep. I know this first hand. The one thing that you have to realize it that sometimes it has just ran it's cycle in your life. That does not mean it is forgotten, it just means it is time to move on. That is the reality. It is painful sometimes. It doesn't mean that you hate the person, or that you wish any harm. In fact, it is often just the opposite. You will hold the memories and cherish the moments that made the relationship so important to you in the first place. You may never get back what you had, but you will live with the love you received while you had it.
Recently one of my friends did something very brave. She went above and beyond any comfort zone. At first, I was like, "What the heck is she thinking!" But then I realized that she was doing something that should have been done a long time ago. She was putting herself out there for the benefit of everyone. Something that I was not able to do.
I can say that I love all my friends. The ones that I still have and the ones that I have lost. I am still the same person, but lives and priorities change. I understand this, and we should welcome it. I know that I have been wrong more times than I have been right. However, I am confident that I am right about this.
I encourage all who received her invitation to go. If anything it will rid the air of anger and hurt feelings. It will never be what is was, that is the truth. But maybe, just maybe...it will be the start of a new era. Maybe even a better one, where there is more laughter, less anger and tears. A simpler and easier approach to friendship. Maybe...Just Maybe!
