Writer's Block: Shhh… Don’t tell

[zestfive]

[Error: unknown template qotd]I don't necessarily keep it a secret from anyone but I have removed people that I've known in real life. It was explained to me that this was their way of keeping in touch with me. I felt since it was one-sided, it was more of them being voyeuristic than "staying in touch with a friend".  This "friend" has gone on to unfriend me on FB too. Oh well, not that much of a friend....IMHO.

Apparently, I have a different definition of "friend". Thankfully, I've got some really dear friends who share my definition. Sadly, my partner has gotten caught in the crossfire of this conflict and I don't think she shares my same definition and is hurt by this change. I feel bad for her but I have better boundaries than to try and fix a conflict between her and others. It would be up to her to try to fix it, in her own way or not.




And I'm only a little bitter about it.

Try to remember that if you are looking for "FAIR", in treatment by others, in shares of wealth or sunny days or anything else, it is almost certainly not to be found on this planet! And bitterness sours your own outlook while serving no useful purpose for anyone that I've been able to discover.

Love yourself AND others (all others, if possible) as much as you can from where you are ~~ the caring will certainly come back to you, maybe even from total strangers ~ ~ ~ that's how you can tell it's working.

You are so right and I'm trying to get there...I really am working on it.
