    Oompa (welcome), Steph etc...re: friends.

    It's amazing how down the years we support people and don't get it in return when we need it.

    I call them fair weather friends and now I don't bother with that sort of person as they aren't real friends and can/will make you feel worse when you feel down.

    In the end I realised they were not true friends as a friend should be there good times and bad times. I would do anything for a friend. I am a softie or was and realised ppl just took the !!!! out of me and took advantage. So now Im more cautious. That way I wont get hurt nor used.

    If your friend only contacts you when its birthdays or xmas then that certainly isnt a friend. Maybe you should bring it up by saying,, havent heard from you in so long, is something wrong, has something happened and that way you know you have tried and asked and no one can make you feel bad or guilty.x

    Very wise.

    Best to have 1 good friend than 10 friends who will desert you when the going gets tough*

    *Tough in alot of people's cases, means when you can't lend them money, meet them when they 'demand' or when a love interest arrives that both parties are interested in

    I know what you mean it has to be the right person because the wrong ones just do more damage.When i write i do put how i feel into words which is why most of my poems are sad ones.I still feel sad when i have written them but lighter for letting it out i think.

    Friends, lovers, anything. Has to be right or they can do more damage. I'd love to let someone in, but a) nobody wants to be let in and b) even if they did, i'd be very backwards about letting them in.

    At least you feel a little lighter when you have written down your poems. It's a start, even if not a solution.

    Well, i'm miserable Miro today.

    I woke up miserable and checked the news and was made more miserable as they were showing old footage of Britney being harrassed by the paperazzi filth. :mad:

    Anyway, just had a whole hour of her on 'The Vault' which was pleasing, but still irritable.

    Hope everyone is as well as can be today :wave:
  • BigMummaF (((HUGS))) Sorry to hear about your BIL. Thinking of you. Much love xxx
