I finally know what real friendship is.
(This will probably make no sense to anyone.)

Please do clarify...
The person this was about realized it immediately, so I guess I wasn't very crafty :>
(That's not really the point anyway; I posted this mainly so I'd have a record of how I was feeling.)
Suffice it to say that I now have a very good friend. Actually, there needs to be a better word, because now I see three levels: acquaintances, who are people you know in passing; friends, who are people you like who like you and with whom you spend a fair amount of time; and people like this person, who would do anything for you and for whom you would do anything, who you love like your own family, who you can be completely honest and even stupidly hurtful to and know that they will still be there the next day, who you would never ever want to hurt or see in pain, and whose happiness you put above your own.
I have that with Sean, of course, and that's why we're married. I consider myself extremely lucky to have found it with someone else, too.
As for why that's a sad thought, it's not, really. I was just feeling particularly self-piteous at that moment.
I love you, Hea Hea.
Love you too, Brookie :)
*hug*
There aint just three levels. Guarantee you that.
There's also the people you take for granted and push away. The best friends you never realized you had.
I am not against fresh starts and second and third and even fourth chances, but sometimes you get to a point where you realize that the personalities just aren't compatible, and it would be mutually hurtful to continue to pretend to be best friends.
That doesn't mean I want to write the person off, but it does mean never again going beyond a certain point in the relationship.
I just wanted to say that those anonymous posts are NOT from me.
I don't know if the anonymous poster was speaking in particular about you, but even so, I'm sure there are people in all of our pasts who we regret taking for granted, and losing friendships that were quite valuable in retrospect. Whether through our own misdeeds, or our inability to forgive the trespasses of others (even in light of our own), we should strive to make sure we maintain the relationships with those we love not throw them away.
I definitely agree with that, Jordan. Every relationship has to be nurtured in order to grow and progress.
