"Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down." - Oprah
Remember that time I met a guy that I suppose I knew from a life before, fell in love with him and moved across the province to be with him; sacrificing my job, proximity to all things first world and friendships and then things more than didn't work out?
The worst part about falling in love with someone ( herein known as QPipe) who doesn't know or trust themselves, is that you don't know that you don't know them- that your lover is a liar and they don't know it... it's a deep and dark river to wade in; it takes lots of fight and of course, time for wounds to heal.
The upside of any matters of a broken heart are the friends. The ones who call 3 times a day to talk about nothing but are really seeing how you are, the ones who work all day and drive 6 hours each way to move you out, the ones who tell you it's okay to break a few things but let you yell them instead, the ones who are completely oblivious because you haven't told because you're still ashamed but call to say they were thinking of you, the ones who stay up way too late and always answer when you call way to early to have them help you figure out what you already knew; you know, those kinds of friends.
What on earth would we do without that group of people that we get to choose to be our family?
Not that you're asking, but Thank You Friend.
"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival." - C.S. Lewis
Also. The last sentence has been removed as per QPipe's request... a first time editing a blog because someone asked me to... I'm entirely displeased that I've respected his wishes.
