As I was looking through facebook today I saw a status that said "Never make someone a priority when they only make you an option." Its interesting how so many things lately are pointing to the decision I need to make.
I've been struggling with a friend lately. We used to be as close as sisters and then something happened, something changed. I'm not sure what started it. Maybe it was when I decided to stop drinking.... I don't know. I do know that a changed haappened, and at first there was tension in the home and then we got kicked out and from that point the communication just stopped. Ended up there was issues at home she needed to take care of so I was hoping that wouls be it but then she just stopped talking to me. I tried inviting her out for girls nights, and every time there was an excuse as to why she couldn't go. I invite her to my birthday party and she tried to say I had never invited her, and after I reminded her of the numerous times we had talked about it, she still didn't show. So I tried yet again to invite her to go out and again I get an excuse as to why she can't go.
I hear rumors about her telling people that its me that doesn't talk to her not the other way around and I've explained that the last time we talked she got in trouble so I am not going to invade her privacy and ask her things that she may not want to talk to about or even put her in that position. If she needs to talk I'll listen, but I am not going to pry about it when its none of my business anyways. It just seems like all my efforts are pointless.
Then I have a friends that make special efforts to talk to me, and come see me. I had friends drive all the way to my house for even a small amount of time so that they could wish me a happy birthday. Those are the friends that I consider true friends. They made seeing me a priority and I will treat them with the same respect. And there are a few I feel I need to make priorities.
I really like this saying and I am taking it to heart. The Goddess and the universe gives answers in many ways. I think this is one I need to pay special attention to.
