Relationships...

In the last 2 years I've learned that every relationship I've had or will have...will always change. What I think I have now...may not exist in another 2 years, and what I took for granted before may not always be there.

When I graduated college there were a few friendships I thought for sure would endure the test of time..and as the wheel turns I learn that some friendships were only meant to last for a certain duration...and some friendships will evolve with every life stage I find myself in.

There's a time...a place and a season for everything.

I had a good IM conversation with a friend over the weekend. She was like, I lost respect for *** when she couldn't bother to tell me she didn't want to be my friend anymore. Her typed words hit a huge cord with me. How do you tell somebody you don't want to be their friend anymore? How do you cut the tie when it already hurts so much? Everything in me tells me to walk away, to cut my losses now and to put myself first. The pain is too great...the mood changes and attitude is too much and I know that its not my problem, its her problem with the world. So what do I do?

I sat journaling earlier last week, and the question I posed to myself...what sets me apart? What makes Wiski special? Aside from aestic differences and personality quarks here and there, I realized something I've always known, yet rarely took any pride in. At the end of the day, I don't give up on people. I may say I'm done...I may wash my hands of the situation, but I never give up on people.

The possibility for growth, change and HOPE is always alive in my life.

And thus..there is my quandry. I can only avail myself for assistance, give space to the point where we no longer communicate and take the immeasurable rudeness and attitude for so long. Do I close myself off now and cross my fingers and hope that time is the solution for ***, that in the end she'll settle her own issues with the world?
