O....m....g!

Postman just bought some good news! I just got a letter saying that I am being published in my 11th poetry book! I only got told I was getting published in my 10th two months ago.

I am now sitting here in tears. No idea why. Think I'm just a bit overwhelmed. =/

There might be an obvious answer to this question but I'm going to ask anyway, even if its only to confirm what I think and believe.

What would you do if you had a friend and they were a good friend for a couple of years but then suddenly they got a boyfriend and didn't want to know you anymore? Then suddenly out of the blue they text you. You meet up. Things go fine. Then over msn they precede to tell you that everything that they said happened to them (and some of the things they said happened were serious.....and some of the things had personally happened to me) didn't really happen and that they were attention seeking (I guess kudos for owning up eventually though).How would you feel? Then you try and see past that and ask if they want to meet up and they reply with "Nah. You're alright". You hear nothing for months, and then out of the blue, the day after their birthday, they're suddenly in touch. How would you feel and what would you do?

Am I right to feel used? When we were friends we had good times but she made me feel bad about myself, especially when it came to boyfriends e.g. her forming a "sex buddy" relationship with my ex a week after we split up (I'm guessing because I wouldn't "put out" for him whilst we were dating, but I have self respect and intimacy is a very big thing to me).

Do I have any right to feel used and hurt? Janette says that after everything that she has put me through, and especially lying about things she had apparently gone through, that I myself had actually been through, that she is not worth it and to ignore all texts etc, but I don't want to make her feel bad.

I feel like I'm writing to an agony aunt.lol. So what would you do, and how would you feel?

As hard as it may be, I would just forget about her. She is not worth worrying about after what she has done to you. You are better than that, never give a bad person the satisfaction of trying to use you. Dlete her number, if she txts, keep it short and simple. Dont apologise to her nor feel sorry for her. She will try and make you feel sorry for her, and you are caring so it can easily be done, but dont feel bad!!! You know your worth a lot more than that, you spend your energy on ppl that are worth thinking about.Hugs xx

Thanks fairydawn and Katie. You're all so supportive here. I'd be so lost without you all.

That's what I thought Diamond but I needed someone else to confirm it so thank you. She has put me through a lot of hell, and I think what made it worse was that she knew about the things I had been through, and lied....to a great extent, about going through them herself and continued to lie for our friendship. I'm better off without her. Friends should lift you up, not bring you down.

Just got back from the shop. One of the women who lives in my road was on the till. She said she hadn't seen me for ages. I just said that I had been around, just not as much. No way I'm justifying myself to anyone..especially people who live on the same street as I do. News travels fast, as they say.

As a thank you to Gemma for being a great friend, I have named a star after her. =D Certificate and validation should be here in a couple of days. I chose to name the star Aria. It means "beautiful".

Toodles, noodles and squiggly doodles.

Thanks Shaz.

Yeah. I haven't replied, because I know what will happen, and I'm not prepared to put myself through that again. Anyway, I refuse to be used.

The last time she got in touch it was because she wanted ME to go to the police about something which didn't involve me and was to do with HER. I literally had nothing to do with it, and she wanted me to go for her, not with her. Plus, because she's lied about so much stuff, I don't know what is real anymore, and she is the kind of person who would get someone else in trouble for something they haven't done, just so that she can get a little bit of attention.

Better off out of my life, I say.

On a side note: Where is AB and his joke today? lol

*hugs*

Congratulations Cyberkid, they say that poetry is the hardest form of writing to get published. I am one proud Cybermummy :j

We still haven't got internet in the new flat, I have to go to the library to work (or pretend to work ...). Better than working at home though, as the room is very dark. Must get one of those daylight bulbs.

LadyMorticia

Thanks Cybermum! =D

Sorry you haven't got the net yet. Do you know when you'll have it by? I go insane just when the net is down for a few hours.lol. I think I need to buy myself a life....!
