WARNING: Pissy whining ahead

Sigh. Way back when I was still in high school (hee, ok so seven months ago, but we can pretend), my friends and I saw a preview for Ocean's 12 and made a pact not to see it until we were all home on Christmas Break and could see it together. My former roomie and I went to church on Sunday and she was still very excited about doing this. Of course ( Read more... )

*It just exhausts me that all my relationships would be non-existent if I didn't bust my ass for them. *

I feel that way a lot too. I don't think it's so much that your friends don't care as much as they are caught up in their own little lives and big and small crises. The holidays are busy for a lot of people. Yes, they should remember that you're going through a lot and they should call...but try not to take it too personally. Also, I think sometimes people stay away just b/c they don't know what to say.

Anyway, I'm glad you survived Christmas and that you're doing "okay." I can imagine coming home from school would feel really terrible and lonely...and that really sucks. But you are doing what you need to do to take care of yourself, and I'm proud of you for that. E-mail me anytime.

Sadly I also discovered friendship doesn't seem to mean very much to most people. I took this personally and it really affected me. It's now a year later and I've realised it's their problem not mine.

My so-called best friend from High School doesn't even respond when I call her so I haven't spoken to her since last Christmas.

It hurt a lot, and still does, but I now know that they aren't the people I need as friends anyway.

Friendship isn't one sided. There are an awful lot of people that seem to think it is though, and they're not the ones that end up getting hurt. I've learned to just hold on to the few friends that do care, the ones that don't forget that you actually exist. Even though I might not hear from them very often, when I do it means so much more.

There are always people who care about you, even when you think you're completely alone.
