Words of Wisdom...

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."
Henry David Thoreau

"All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible."
T.E. Lawrence

Fair-weather Friend

I have come to realize in the past few weeks/months, whatever... that I am surrounded by fair weather friends. I never considered that moving to another location would make friends disappear. Admittedly I'm in another part of the world, but those friends from other states that I rarely saw anyway... they should realistically keep in better touch.

I'm a great pen pal. I write back THE DAY I get letters, or at least the next day. I'm the best!! Why would people not want to write to me??

Whatever. As far as I'm concerned I'm alone in this life and I'm totally ok with that. I have seriously changed my outlook on life recently.

I'm tired of being treated like crap by "friends". I aim to surround myself with people I enjoy. Those that make me laugh or make me think critically. But I don't plan to get overly attached to those I know won't last.

I have recently made friendships that I would love to think would last a long time, but I don't see myself as being a doormat. If you cannot be a friend that appreciates me and treats me with the respect I deserve.... our relationship won't last and that won't bother me one bit.

You do what you want, I'll do what I want... if we do it together, then great!! If we don't.... oh well.

I can honestly say that there are a handful of people that I honestly miss from back home.

Are you one of them???????????
