If I had a little computer in bed with me at night, when I'm trying to fall asleep, or in the shower with me in the morning, when I'm trying to wake up, then this place would be full of thoughtful, well put together posts. Instead, I write them beautifully in my head, only to have them fall apart by morning, or by the time I get to work and the morning slows down enough for me to write. Try as I might, those sentences become scattered words, and I can't seem to stitch them back together in the same way. Its frustrating.
Also frustrating. "Friends" who fall in and out of your life like the tide, and only appear when they NEED. I'm happy to give to my friends, and I'm not the best communicator in the entire world, but if you only come to me when you are asking me for something... well. I had one of those "friends" approach me recently, then when they got the information they wanted, thought not the answer they hoped for, suddenly the plans we were discussing became less "definitely, can't wait," and more "we'll see." Its expected, I shouldn't be disappointed, but I am.
Linking up with Just Write.
Meegs,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to have found you at just write...I know the friends you're talking about, and it grows tiresome. I read something recently that I found encouraging...essentially, rather than being frustrated that people only come to you when they're in need, be proud that you are their candle lighting the darkness. I hope this makes it better.
Peace and good to you.
Aw, that is a wonderful way to look at it. Thank you.
