Mending Friendships

This weekend, I felt alone.  I had no one to hang out with and I felt like everyone was ignoring me.  I was missing people who I hadn't seen or talked to in a year or longer and wondering what happened to those friendships.  I wanted to blame it all on the others.  I felt like all my friendships were one way streets and I was the only one going the right way.  I realized, after sending out a few messages, I was being selfish.  I expected these people to always be there for me but I am have not always been there for them.  I planned things around my schedule, expecting them to be there and when they weren't I would get upset.  If I didn't hear back from someone I texted I would think they were ignoring me even though they were busy or not able to reply back.  This is for those people who I may have hurt.  I want you to know that I am gonna work on being a better friend.  It is tough sometimes for us to share our feelings.  Instead of these feelings being pushed back I am gonna try to talk to you about how I am feeling right away.  I am hoping you will do the same.  I have to remember that I am not the only one with problems and I should listen more than I talk.  I love you all and I am sorry if I have hurt you.  I promise to call, text or write more to see how you are doing instead of just when I want something.  If I start slacking I want you to tell me!  I have always thought that my best friends were my unbiological sisters.  You will always be my best friends.  I hope that we can share many years of memories and that our friendship will grow stronger everyday.

This is also for my best friends who I may not have been upset with but the song still stands.  I also hope that our friendship will continue to grow and we don't have any "falling outs."  I thank God for each and every one of you.  Everytime I hear this song I think about all of you.  For me, it has become "our" song.  I hope you agree.

If anyone reading this has wonderful friends like I do, please share this video with them.  Let them know you are there for them and you love them.  Don't wait until their birthday or a holiday to let them know what they mean to you.
