When did mutual respect become a thing of the past? Something that no one seems to follow, understand, or comprehend in their lives. When did life become so busy that keeping a friendship going strong just didn't make a difference? When a friend is blatantly having a very tough time with life, when did people stop asking if they were okay? Or stop to take the time to actually listen to them when they're not?
**WARNING** Whining, complaining, and bitching commencing**
I know life is crazy, heck - I just spent the last 2 weeks in CT with my family dealing with the loss of one of my closest friends from HS, coping with the earthquake that happened here in VA, and then the hurricane that came up the coast and knocked power out for 6 days at my mom's house.. added on to the fact I haven't seen my husband in over a month due to unforeseen circumstances... but yet, I still try to chit chat with people, stay involved, and keep tabs on who is going through what so I can send prayers, love, and attention their way. Yes, this may sound a little bit greedy; but aren't we all entitled to a little bit of attention and greed from our friends/family? I think so!
I think we're all entitled to want just a smidge of attention when we're having a tough time, and to complain and bitch, and whine and moan is exactly what I'm going to do. I'm sick of being ignored, I'm tired of feeling like I've got no one to turn to except my parents and my husband (who all have other lives besides me, obviously). I make friends for a REASON and if that reason is for nothing more than supporting each other, so be it. But that support is not a one way street in my life. Either you give support to receive support, or you get nothing from me. I'm so over some people, it's so not even funny!!! (This is not aimed at anyone directly, but if you choose to take this offensively take a look at our "friendship" and it might be implied towards you!!!)
**THANK YOU** Whining, complaining, and bitching completed**
