I find myself needing to vent again. While I was in Indiana visiting Kimmieboo this last time, I had a long chat with Andy. In this "chat" we discussed how I spread my concern and love too broadly and thinly. In other words... I need to stop caring about so many darn people. I realized that the reason why I can't commit to a guy and give him my love is because I'm running out of love to give. yanno? sounds cliche but it's for real... I'm so busy worrying about everyone I've ever met in my life, and wanting to hang out with all 90 of my old friends (who don't really give a crap about me) that I don't have time to want to be with just one person. Man I'm a mess. So, I decided then and there that it was time to start narrowing down the amount of people that I care about. Well... not that I care about, but whom I would do anything for if they were to call and ask for something. Over the last month or so, I have also been trying to deal with some "Unfinished business". In other words, I'm trying to clean up some of the crap that I've made for myself over the last 23 years. Trying to go back and face issues that you ran away from years ago is really REALLY hard. Especially when it deals directly with other people. However, I know it's something I have to do. So, I just want to say this: I no longer am the person who you can call at 4 am to come bail you out of jail just because we were friends once upon a time. I am no longer the person who wants to spend 3 hours listening to you cry when we haven't talked in over a year. I am NO LONGER the person who you can pick up and drop whenever you are in between girlfriends/boyfriends/husbands... Am I am certainly no longer the person whose emotions you can play on just to get something out of me. I'M NOT HER ANYMORE. It's time for me to really appreciate the people in my life who appreciate me. I can't keep caring about a whole mess of people who don't give two rips about me when I'm depressed or alone and hurting... Or when I'm crying myself to sleep. If any of those situations above partain to you, then you're a sucky friend and I'm done caring. Time for me to start looking out for number one. No one else will take care of me... this is now soo painfully obvious. It's time I take care of myself. The End. |
