it didn't take an hour to read only about 15 min.

i love you nadine, and i know it's tough but don't beat yourself up about this. you are a good person no matter what. and if you're not happy being friends with this person, you don't have to waste your time anymore. you know what is right for you. sometimes you just need to "break up" with your friends bc they are bring more stress than good.

you have a lot of people who care about you. and if you waste your time with people who you can't relate to, you'll miss out on people who can relate to bc you're too busy stressing about people who aren't worth your time.

Hi Julia,
I'm talking to you righ tnow on aim. thank you for the advice. It did kinda feel like a relationship lol and It made me thankful fo rthe fact that we definitely we're not in a relationship!! but I talked to her and everything is okay now, i just couldn't take the fact that we lived next door to each other and pretend that each other doesn't exist. life's too short, and you're right I'm gonna miss out on some really great people if I stress about people who aren't worth my time.

thanks julz!

Friends are people who genuinely care about you and your feelings, not people who try to be-little or make you feel badly about yourself. I don't know your friend as well as you do, but from what it seems like she isn't very knowledgeable on a lot of subjects and is selfish. Sorry if that is too harh. Friends come and go throughout our lives, the ones that stay are the ones that truely care. I'm sorry you are having troubles with your friend. Hopefully she'll come to her senses before it's too late.

You got some really sweet posts with this entry but you know that's not my style: Ok this Tara girl is a tool. Don't get me wrong I don't know her and all and I can actually see a little of myself in her. I too have a large weakness for boys...I dunno what it is but I'm a dumbass when it comes to them. And thats all it is...being a dumbass. There's no clinical excuse and being a dumbass and it is totally different from being homosexual so for her to compare them is just ignorance at its finest. I beg you not to feel bad about any of this. You know that for every person who doesn't support you, there are a dozen more of us who do fully. I know this will all work itself out, it always does.

Love you and miss you sooooo much,
Jess

Nadine-
I think you are right to feel incredibly offended. I think ANYONE, lesbian, gay, or bisexual would be offended by that. That's a simple case of her being insecure about HERSELF and feeling like she needs to bring you down as well. You were right about what you said to her and I applaud you at that.... Moreover, I think Ollie would applaud you for not just brushing it off and letting her walk over you....
Also-- I know we haven't talked in awhile, but I attribute that to both of us being INCREDIBLY busy with school. I never want you to think that I have gradually stopped talking to you because of your sexual preference. I'm always there for you and I support all the decisions you make in your lifestyle :)

Things are okay now between us, it'll never be the same but maybe thats not such a bad thing...
thanks for sayin that about ollie you're right! and thanks for the support! muchly appreciated!
