Pacts

Sometimes, when you think you're doing the right thing for a friend, you end up doing the most hurtful thing. Recently, I have ended a friendship. It's a friendship I thought I'd have for a very long time considering my best friend is someone I have know since age 8. I normally don't let many people completely into my life, but this time I did.

I'm not going to go in to any detail about it because it's still too raw for me to talk about right now. Just know that when I accept someone as a friend of mine, I love them unconditionally. During most peoples friendships, there are pacts made like, when I make it into the NFL I'm going ot buy you a house or when I hit the lottery, I'll buy you a house. You know PACTS! When the friendship ends for whatever reason, the pact goes with it. Not with me! I see things a little differently than most. I believe when a promise, excuse me, I mean PACT is made, it should be honored to the best of your ability. What I'm trying to say is, there was a pact made during my friendship with someone. We said that if one of us makes, we would make sure to pass on the other ones names or bring them on board if possible. Since, that pact was made during our friendship, I feel it is something that should be fulfilled on my end.

I also understand that most people don't feel the same way I do, so I never expect it back. I just do it because it's what I want to do.

Now that my friendship has ended, I wish nothing but success for the individual. I will cherish the good times and focus on those instead of how or why our friendship ended. I know it seems very naive to most for me to focus on the good things instead of the bad, but why stress over something you can't control? At least, that's my philosophy!

Friendship is very hard to come by, so I tend to cherish the ones I have. Even the ones I no longer have.

In all of my rambling, I guess what I'm trying to say is, Keep taking care of yourself and your loved ones. Tomorrow is not promised, so try to make today a happy, joyful and fulfilling one. If you care about someone or something, be forth coming. Never regret what you could have, should have or would have done. There is a reason things happened the way the did!

Don't forget to tell those who mean something to you that you love them!!!

Love,

Jen Marie xoxo
