Better.... and better

Things are better. Much, much better now. AND, I get to go see my best friend in the world this weeekend. I feel like we have drifted apart this past year, so I an hyped about getting to spend a lot of time alone with her, preparing for the arrival of her baby!

Reel it in... always

Life pisses me off sometimes. There is so much more to each of us than our own selfish worries and thoughts, but damn if they don't crowd our vision a lot of the time. I walk a fine line between feeling selfish for wanting what I want, and feeling pushy, like I just expect too much. People change all the time. Friends change and I change. Honesty and openness are so integral to having a good and trusting relationship. If you don't have that, you have distrust, suspicion and frustration that you can't help the person that you love.

What do you do when someone you love is sad and depressed and just won't open up? Do you keep pushing, hoping they will feel like they can trust you enough - and risk losing them? Do you try to find them help? Or do you back off and try to stay out of their way, even to the point of offering to leave if it will help? What is the line that has to be toed here?
