amazing.
amazed.
I am amazed.
at how wrong I can get it sometimes…impressions and judges of character…Man. When I get it wrong, I fucking get it WRONG!!! I’m amazed, at how quickly I make things important…like friendships…when really they are more like acquaintences…business relationships…
See. I thought…
and I thought wrong. And being treated…so blatently ingored. Well, that’s not what friends do. Friends say hi. Friends make an effort. and not out of guilt. and not with some preemptive gesture the day before. This has happened before with some sort of “I’m sorry but this is how I handle situations that make me uncomfortable” bullshit. And I said, “no problem there friend! We all have our quirks. Don’t hurt me again.” And we went merrily along and I thought…I thought it mattered. I thought it was genuine and real.
but wrong I was.
wrong I am.
so be it.
The real friendships in my life…I know who they are. This one won’t fool me again. Because I may be wrong. A lot.
But I’m rarely stupid twice.

You are not ever stupid. If someone is stupid… its them because you are an amazing woman, friend…. sounds all so cliche’ but its not Sugar. Its very true. And if you want… I can come over the bar and kick “their” scranny little ass!

The problem is not you. It’s the idiot who wouldn’t know a friend or a good person if they smacked him in the face.

So, I read this book and studied with this person that taught that all disappointment stems from expectations…not just high expectations, but any expectations.So, I walked around questioning myself…do I expect too much…should I just accept this situation…and frankly, I say NO.We are completely within our rights to expect to be treated with respect and with consideration. Be kind. Say please and thank you. Really…it’s kindergarten crap that most people just don’t get right. I, too, am amazed.

You are wonderful and as in the comments earlier you are such a good friend to all and so loyal, it is not a character flaw to be trusting….it is just what WE do. Unfortunately it takes more than once for us to harden and realize all that glitters is not gold….we LOVE you and think you are the perfect aunt, sister and daughter and the most loyal of friends…don’t cast your pearls of friendship to the swine (Proverbs again)….see ya fri.
