Friends
The day we became friends,
I thought you were the best
thing that would ever happen to me.
I adored you,
cherished you
and loved you.
We connected on levels
we couldn’t explain.
We laughed and shared
intimate secrets.
We talked.
I cried.
You listened.
We shared life.
We were awesome friends.
Then came the awful realisation
that you were like the rest of them.
Your actions unjustified.
The untruths.
The selfishness.
But I learnt from you – to trust only me.
Thank you for not being a part
of my beautiful life anymore.
A life where my sun shines again.

Anyone who repeatedly hurts you doesn't deserve your time or friendship.
Hope you're well. Take care.
NiT
For sure. Or people who do not repect you or value your worth :)
I'm doing great thanx. Will mail you about that thing we spoke of last week. Ha ha ha. Hope you are well.

Think Dex hit the nail on the head. Everyone makes mistakes...its just when the mistakes happen too often to be anything but deliberate that one has to get ruthless and cut out those people from your life. Easier said than done, but one feels much the better for it.

I am liberating myself, to my true essence, more every day. There was a time where I would just let it be and go with it. Endure the 'abuse' and be too afraid to say anything. Not anymore. Yep, a lot easier said than done but freeing yourself from that and building up your energy again feels great.

It's so hurtful to find out who someone REALLY is....true friends are few and far between.
Noss
I am learning more and more (and more) everyday that the only person I can truly depend on is myself. I do not have a problem with that but it's nice to know that you have friends around, you know.
I guess people in your life will always hurt you... but it just makes you stronger.
I guess people in your life
I guess people in your life will always hurt you...I dunno, hey. Shouldn't be that way but ja, it's all in the "lessons in life" catagory. :-))
Lessons in life
I agree, it shouldn't be that way at all, but it's bound to happen. Even those you truly trust and least expect it from.... they will do something one day. I am cleansing myself of all negative influences... that includes friends who drain me and do not add anything to our friendship.
Yep, chalk it up to life's many lessons.
Ja but remember, Semi -
people fuck up now and then. You have at some point hurt people too - if you cut out everyone who makes a mistake, it's gonna be a lonely life...
Now, I'll just get off the pulpit and have a beer.
Agreed Dex
And I am no saint. I know that and I know that I have also hurt people in my life. I also know that people mess up every now and then. But what do you do with those who mess up all the time and expect you to rescue them, time and time again? Btw, thats the only time they call you friend or know where you are. When things in their lives are going great then you do not even exist. Not the kind of friends I want or need.
I'm not giving up on everyone. I am giving up on the people who do not add anything to my life and who drain my energy. Mistakes I can forgive. Taking advantage of me all the time...I cannot.
Ha ha ha.... pass on the beer's please.
That's just it Sems.
The ones who do not add anything, only drain. Ja - they need to go. And no beers for them, either.
Dex
Yeah, it's not easy though - getting rid of people you once called friends but some circumstances warrant it and some people bring it on themselves.
you are the weakest link, fokkof
Absolutely no beers for them but I will toast to them leaving my life :)
Good line, Semi
and you helped me realise how lucky i am (maybe). See, i've constucted a couple of walls. So I have only about 5 people in total that are close to me - all in different ways, and only one that's close in more than one way. And I have to say - 32 years later, the disappointments have been negligible.
And if you're wondering about the (maybe) - who knows what i've missed out on, being cold to strangers over the years. This is gonna sound soppy, but make sure you don't close your heart to possibilities. Screw soppy, that sounds like Dr Phil. *puke*
Thanx Dr Phil
I try never to totally close myself off to possibilities... hence me getting screwed all the time.
Guess you can't win 'em all.
