So I have a friend....

that seems to be going through a hard time in her life. (I hope shes reading ;)). I feel your pain girl. It's my belief that you are one of the rare jewels in life. Because you actually CARE about other people. Openly and privately. For so many years I thought....what a fucked up way to be (cause I feel I'm the same way). Why is it, that the nicest people in the world, seem to be the first to get fucked over? Why do I always care and give and give some more, and people that say they feel the same about you, keep taking and taking and taking? Why is it so hard to be strong all the time? To brush off hurt and pain-just to say to people when they ask you what's wrong "Nothing, I'm fine". Sometimes you just want someone to fight off all the demons in life-to stand for you when you're too weak to stand on your own. Yes it is fucked up. But, I've learned that if you first can't stand for yourself, then you can't stand for the people God puts in your life that really love you. All of us fall short of our own expectations of ourselves-it's natural. It's all just one big test. It determines the weak from the strong. The weak just fall and stay down. They keep letting life beat up on them. Those of us that fall and get right back up are the ones that make it. It's hard and I do know that "when it rains, it pours", but when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Cliche, I know-but it works, just give it a try. You can do it! (I sound all motivational, maybe I should switch careers). Anyway, I decided to dedicate this post to you today-I felt you needed to know "someone out there, beneath the pale blue sky" was thinking of you. And because it's more important than me babbling on and on about some London bolucks! Have a good one and love you lots!
