All i can say is that you would have most definitely been exactly what they needed at that point in time. And the good news is my friend - is that YOU were there or ARE there when they need you. That is the best type of person that YOU can be. Friends will come and go but at the centre of it all is what type of person you choose to be. And there is no denying that you are the carer and person who others can turn to - that is definitely a great gift and one, as hard as it is to sometimes not get it in return - valued above all else me thinks :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687740335684492044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3039528659478552385.post-38309537115703871762014-01-21T18:18:02.628-06:002014-01-21T18:18:02.628-06:00I have been having the same thoughts and struggles...I have been having the same thoughts and struggles lately. I keep going back to a quote I saw on Pinterest that said, "Why make someone a priority when they only make you an option?" I have several friends who only get into contact when they need help or when something bad has happened in their lives. When I am in need of someone they are nowhere to be found. Though it pains me greatly I have begun distancing myself from those individuals and our friendships have become more of an acquaintance. It hurts, but it hurts less than them not answering texts/calls or only calling when they need something.

Everyone else is on the outside of everything. I find it hard to trust people so this makes it hard for people to even get to the circle of influence with me.Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09987772376013178316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3039528659478552385.post-69255822543022544602014-01-21T07:29:27.952-06:002014-01-21T07:29:27.952-06:00Sniff!
