it's not always solitude that breeds lonliness

[palestephie]

So, I realize that I still care about/love a lot of people who don't really seem to care about me at all anymore. When I think about them they still make me smile and/or generate warm feelings, and it makes my heart ache a little bit. This is kind of painful, and I don't really know what to do about it. I make resolutions and try not to care

Moving on is scary

It's hard when you look around and the people you care about have moved on with their lives. In a year none of my best friends from games are going to be down the street anymore. I don't like the idea of having to live with strangers or living alone away from what I hoped to be my life long friends. It's hard to hold on to those friends when they've already left you for their own exciting life. I guess the only thing to do is get up and leave yourself.

What do you mean you're not particularly great?! You're amazing! You're Stephanie Bills. You were always there for a good conversation or a good laugh and you are just plain good company. When our paths cross again, I know you'll be there when I need a friend. And what is cool anyway? Just because someone can talk to people easily and they exude self-confidence doesn't mean they are a particularly great person in other categories. It's hard to imagine, but if you care about someone and they know it, and they still don't care about you, they just aren't worth your time anyway. Now I think I'm going to go listen to some John Denver... you've gotten me in the mood...

People change and it sucks. That has happened to me so many times.

But I hope you too can find peace in John Denver!
