Friendship
It truly is hard to figure out who your friends are.
Those that are honest in their sentiments... the 'call me if you need to talk'... those that really and truly mean that. Deciding who is true and who speaks just words is a decidedly difficult task.
And I know that I am one of those people.. someone who can listen, and empathize, and give my time to you when you really need it.
But I find people don't call me... they don't want to burden me because I am already so burdened... but here's the thing...
A burdened soul needs the distraction, needs to take their mind of the same crap that is weighing them down. Your distraction, your problems, are not a burden.. they are life.. your life, and they matter. A true friend knows that and wants to be there and listen, and help ease your mind, your suffering, your loneliness.
I am not consumed by the weight of my soul as long as I am busy, as long as I have a purpos, as long as I have someone to talk to. And I want to talk... not about him, not about how hurt I am, not about the confusion, nothing of that sort... I want to talk aobut you, about your life, provide for you the same level of friendship that you have shown me... I am hear for you... whenever you need me...
via email, text, phone, facetime... whatever... we can talk.
And together, my friends, we will survive.
So thank you to my friends... who have shown their true selves, been true to their words, and been there, for me, as I have been there for you.
