Life…
One of the things thats certain in life is change. People come and go and they serve a particular purpose in your life (as a very close friend of mine has put it). Once that purpose has been served sometimes the relationship ends. Sometimes on a good note or sometimes on a bad. Over the past few years I have experienced some ups and downs. I have people who were there for me when I needed them and people who just subtracted from what I was trying to accomplished. What I have come to realize is your choice of friends should be made over a period of time. It should never be made in haste.
Recently, I had a situation w/ a so called friend of mine. They put me in a very bad position that put me in my family in a comprimising position. The veil was finally lifted from my eyes and I saw them for what they really were. At this point the friendship was terminated. As these relationships go (3 plus years) sometimes you finally understand that they will never get it. At this point, it’s time for you to cut your loses and move on. I have done that w/ a clear head and no regrets. I’m so happy to be put in a position to FINALLY get what was going on. Because no matter how many friends you surround yourself w/ you still have to look at yourself in the mirror everyday.
In other news, I’m taking steps to make my life situations better. I’ve had to sacrifice a lot of good friendships in my life to make this thing concrete. No matter the pain it may cause I know that everything happens for a reason. I’m confident that not only will I make it thru this trial victorious, but so will the ones whom lives I have effected in this process. I’m hoping for the best for everyone.

Mmmmm. That takes a lot of strength and courage. I definitely have friends / a friend that I feel is no longer in snyc with my lifestyle. But ending relationships is so hard!
Good job though!
