Friendship is where you like someone but not enough to go
further in that relationship; It is to be there for someone when others are not
around to help or lift someone’s spirits when they are down; Knowing how
someone feels before you ask and knowing what to do; etc...
I find myself writing this blog because I feel like I hit a
low point in my life. A life that isn’t going terrible but I’m noticing things
about my life that I’ve been doing since high school. I find myself finding
people that I enjoy talking to but fade away in time as we grow apart (with
distance or personal reasons).
As I have been growing up, I always told myself and others
that I don’t need steady friends in my life because I could always make new
ones in the end. As I went to Germany
and down to Indiana
for college, I noticed that it became harder and harder for me to keep up with
the friends I made and of course moved on to the next group of people. This also
goes for my relationship situations as well. I feel like I couldn’t stay with
one person along enough to fully understand them and the smallest thing that
goes wrong would break it all off. I think at the time that I did all these
things is because it was the easiest way to not deal with disappointment, failure,
heart ache of a friendship/relationship. Even though I have felt many feelings
over the years I have been around (that’s right, I cry and care like everyone
else), I just can’t seem to bare knowing that my friend would think of me
negatively or have to hold their feelings for something I did. Moving on to
others is like starting with a clean paper, starting over. This path I know is
wrong and I have been trying to improve that in my life.
Now that I’m 25 and lost a lot of important people not in my
family, I find it even more confusing then ever to try and keep friends. I have
like two people that I know if I started talking with them, they would love to
just listen to me. It goes both ways. I find with others that I have known for
awhile or that I’ve just met back up again our days in Germany that I
might be over doing being a ‘friend’. Is that even possible, being overly
friendly to someone and them hating you for it? Would anyone not want a person
to be a friend for you when you need it the most? I feel that since I’m so late
in the game of being a friend that I forgot how to really play and I fall back
into my old ways of making friends and falling away. It’s a vicious cycle that
I keep falling back on.
All these thoughts and feelings I’m expressing could all be
a day thing. Everything could just pass long like nothing happened and I go
back to my old self. I’m the person that people can pretend to be my friend and
just play along with the game. I’m just a little bitter right now and I think
staying at home a lot on a weekend and knowing that I have no one to go out
with is just getting to me :(

because that’s all they really want.” (hehehe)
