True Friends

Today I’ve send an email to my friends, telling them about my plans and what steps I’ll take to get there within the next six months. Sending out the email was a first step and the reactions are heart-warming so far. It tells me that I’m on the right path, it tells me that my true friends are my true friends because they understand my reasons and send me support emails. I’m still thinking about their reactions. I guess they must have noticed something even without me telling them how I feel about certain things.

It lifted up my spirit and I guess I should continue chasing that feeling and keep at it. I have no idea what will evolve over time but I trust my gut, my drive and my perseverance to show me when the time is right. I’m somewhat emotional about the response, their words meant so much to me. I’ll be seeing some of them in the next couple of weeks. I’m sure discussing this is going to add even more meaning. I know they’ll help me stay focused on what needs to be done. And once again I need patience, lots of it.

But the funny thing is, I know I will get where I want to be because there are people out there who believe in me, who are impressed by my decision of taking the risk to give up everything and start another new chapter in my life. It almost feels I took them for granted somehow, their opinions, the friendship that we share. They don’t tell me what I need to hear, they tell me their truth and it happens to be mine as well. I’m so grateful and blessed for having them in my life… For being who they are.

Change has already started, it feels scary but good! :)

Intentions

And so I wonder… What are your intentions? You can’t be that devious, I don’t believe you are. What is the use of telling me information that I don’t need to hear from you. Why bother? Is it a test?

Is it because of your own wanting to have what cannot be had anymore? Is it because you envy the current situation and you’d do anything to throw a spanner in the works and cause disruption and hurt?

Is it because you’re unhappy about a finished relationship or the hurt of the illness you’re dealing with that you wish others to experience the same pain? Tell me what it is that you wish to accomplish?

I don’t get it, but I’m sure that over time you will show your true colours. I’m sure that one day, the eyes of those involved will open and they will get to learn your intentions. You will nolonger be called a ‘good’ friend…

In the meantime I will show you exactly how I rise above it all… Coz that’s what I’m best at.
