Life.....

Life takes twists and turns every moment of every day. Lately, my life seems to be doing it every second of every day. Every time I think I have accomplished something, something else pops up to take its place. There is no "relaxing" in the real world. There is no such thing as "restful" sleep, we have to much on our minds. How do we function in this modern hell of a world. If you can't keep up get out of the way, what happened to stop and smell the roses? I am tired of going full throttle and no one caring that I need help. I want my friends to want to help me out and be there for me, but are they? Well, there are one or two that will help when I need them (Alice, Louise) but others I swear are just around to see how much shit they can pile onto me before I crack. I have had to back away from a few close Friends recently and it is very hard to do. I am a very loving person, if you are my friend I will love you unconditionally as long as it isn't painful or detrimental to me. Well, as of late, that has become the case with someone I really care about. I want them in my life, but it has just become to hard. I don't know what to do about it. Why does everything have to be so damn hard? Why can't it all just be easy? UGH, Yeah, I know this post doesn't make much sense, but I needed to think on paper (of sorts) so here I am. Any advice?

Sometimes you really need to re-evaluate who are your friends. Do they only call on you when they need you?

If someone is stressing you out, just don't call them or email them. Let them make the first step.

If they won't stop emailing or calling, tell them that you are taking a stress break, and don't want to do anything for two weeks except be with your family. A true friend should understand that. Two weeks without pressure, should let you know whether you need this person in your life now or not.

I've recently re-connected with a friend from college. We had a falling out, and only starting talking about five years after college. It was slow to reconnect, but worth it. She was not someone I wanted in my life back then, but we all change.
