"Sometimes, when people decide to leave you for good, you have to let them. No matter how much you don’t want them to. There are some things that are far beyond our control and even if you have the strength to fight for them, you have to accept the cold, harsh truth… THAT THE PEOPLE YOU CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT, CAN LIVE WITHOUT YOU."

I seem to have stumbled upon a gold-mine of stories of people feeling pretty much the same as me. (at least the first few) They know what it feels like to lose someone close to you... especially when they technically aren't gone. I feel like this has been such a common occurrence lately. I seem to have this issue where I truly don't trust that people in relationships won't leave me. It is only because this has happened to me so many times before. Worst of all is that in other situations I wholeheartedly know that the person is not avoiding me or choosing the other person over me or even aware that I feel alone. I know the person is trying to include me in things and I know they're doing an amazing job at that, but still I blow random things out of proportion. I want them to be happy and have alone time and feel like I steal their alone time, and then I selfishly want my friend to just be mine. But I know better. I know that really im not being ignored, at least not this time. Things are so much different, but I still can't help to feel lonesome and longing for my friend. Its just been one of those weeks where i know we both need someone, and you have another shoulder to cry on but I just don't. Well I do, mine are just harder to find i suppose while yours is at hand ready to be there for you. I don't know. I know you have not abandoned me at all and I really don't want you to spend less time with him at all because I know unlike everyone else you have not just up and left me since you have a boyfriend. You're a better friend, and more experienced in relationship/friend etiquette. It has just happened to me so many times that I get this way and worry that it is only mere days before you forget about me. But I know... I know that is not happening. Its only a delusion i have.
Aside from that, there are plenty more lost people. Jessica. I miss you more than you even understand. I guess you don't need us anymore. As the quote said that is out of my control. I want you more than anything to realize and know that we are always here for you and never ever want you to feel distant from us. It seems as though either you or your family no longer want us in your life. I'm sorry that we were initially unaware of your problem. We weren't trying to be a bad influence or even to keep you addicted. You had other "friends" for that. As soon as we knew what was going on we tried with everything we could to help you break free. Everyday I am proud that you conquered your demon but I wish you could really see how proud I was and I guess I wish you needed me. You were always an amazing shoulder to lean on as well and I miss you for that! I never wanted to see you leave. I'm glad you did what was right for you and once again it is selfish of me to want you here with me but I just love and miss you and care about you. I wish you could read this. I wish I had a way to contact you. I think that is what hurts the most. I can't even contact you occasionally to make sure you're ok and still doing good. I really care about you and things just aren't the same without you at all!
Our group is falling apart piece by piece. Fuck you. Come over for Beatles rockband! Fucking fine. I'm so glad to see thats a great reason to come over. I'm so glad to know you miss us so much since we never see any of you as much as we used to. Whatever. And how about you? You're so depressed and going through so much of what we in this house have faced or are facing or at least know about. We've offered ourselves to you. you claim you aren't avoiding us. Sure as hell seems like it! I want you around. At this point I don't know if I miss you. That is probably because I don't know you. Who are you now? I appreciate you telling me that you have been hiding under a facade of happiness. Some of us deal with that from time to time. understandable your circumstance is different. Ok but I told you I don't care who you are once that mask comes off! Just show me the real you. Sad, happy, suicidal, crazy. I don't care. I want to get to know the real you because at this point you are only a stranger I've known for a year and a half. A stranger who wont come over and introduce herself. I want you to be happy and I want to help. I just feel bad for you now. I still love you because I know somewhere in there we have a friendship. I just want to find it again.
This feels so good. to just get things out. I'm so glad that I was able to talk to stephen tonight. He really made my night so much better. Hopefully counseling goes well tomorrow. I know I can feel better soon It just hurts to feel down. It is so unlike me. And i know when it comes i usually hide it because its just small bursts of sadness but this one has lasted too long. Let the world know I'm depressed and I'm trying to fix that.
Till next time...
