Yay! Thanks Paperheart for taking the survey! ^_^
Happy V-day Andrea! Although we both know the holiday sucks ;p
Do you mind if I take the survey as well?
Oh, please do take the survey BC. I stole it from Jennicula, so I claim no ownership over it.
Valentine's Day was pretty uneventful for me. My company had a bake sale to benefit the American Cancer Society. I ate too many cupcakes! >.<
Hi Andrea sweetie.
You are a wonderful person and an amazing friend.
You have been so understanding and I couldn't have asked for better friends.
The part where you say that some people like to hear about and try to help with problems made me realise how special you are.
I love you sweetie.
Aww, Miss T, you're so sweet!
When I say that some people want to hear about problems, I say it both for you and for me. The people who are truly your friends really do want to know what's going on with you, no matter how sad, angry, depressed, or fucked up you feel, even when you think you don't want, need, or deserve their help. It's something I frequently forget about (or intentionally ignore because I'm stubborn like that), but it helps me to reminded. I figured you could use the same type of reminder.
The challenge for me is learning to trust people enough to accept their offer of help. In the past, I've been hurt very deeply by people I trusted, so now I'm very skittish, even with my closest friends. My gut reaction is the same as yours - I want to retreat and hide, keep my problems to myself, and not burden anyone else. It's a constant source of frustration for them, and I'm often amazed that they stick around to deal with me when I can be so difficult.
But that's how I've learned who my real friends are. The ones who are still here are here for a reason, and they really do want me to tell them all about my problems. If they didn't, they wouldn't ask. They wouldn't listen. It wouldn't matter to them.
It's important to remember that it does matter. No matter how horrible you feel at any given moment, remember that you do matter to someone, and probably to many people. There is always someone who is thinking about you, someone who wonders how you're doing, someone who would love to hear from you, even if all you have to share are problems. Most likely, they'll help you remember that you actually have more to share than just problems, even if you couldn't see it at the time. Sometimes it takes an outside perspective to remind us that there's hope.
And for all those other people who don't care, don't ask, or don't want to listen -- fuck 'em. They're not real friends anyway, and they're probably not worth your time or energy. Move on. Stick with the people you know you can rely on.
That's a piece of advice for both of us.
I hope you're feeling a bit better, sweetie. You are always welcome at my house, rain or shine.
Andrea, once again your words fill me with strength.
You have always been a good friend from the very start of my blogs.
You constantly show me support.
You amaze me all the time with how you always manage to say the words that make me feel better.
I hope I can be there for you sa much as you are for me.
And you are right, the one's who don't want to hear about my troubles can knickers. I know who my real friends here are.
I love you sweetie.

Do you live in my head?
No, I'm firmly planted in my own head. But perhaps we share a wavelength.
