Amber, I couldn't have been happier to see you on Friday night. Thank you so much for coming! I'm so glad to have you as my friend, and to be one of yours. And I can safely say that I've been in your shoes before -- thinking that I'm a "high maintenance" friend. You know what? If those people can't enjoy you for who you really are, even if you are supposedly "high maintenance", then those people aren't worth the effort one bit. I try as hard as I can to not be a burden to anyone, but the problem for me in doing that is that I become more of a passive person overall, and no one should be that way. Everyone should be able to freely speak their mind, and not be moved down a notch or two on the "friendship" scale. I say "sorry" all the time, etc, etc...I know exactly what you're saying. Some people live in my past -- they see me, and think that I'm still held on things that happened over a year ago now. That's not how it is, and I wish that I could get that across to them somehow.

But you know what? Friends are there for each other. Friends talk about anything, anytime...ANY time. I will corner who needs to be cornered, and allow them to do the same. If I notice that something is awkward lately with any given person, I will take care of it. I guess by that I'm trying to say that you need to do what you need to do to be happy with yourself and your friends. I'll be glad to help you with that in any way that I can. You've taught me a lot, and I couldn't be happier to have you as my friend.
