Zoloft for the turtle
I have some friends, I'm not going to name names, who still think of me the way I was when I was 17 to 19 years old. These friends havn't noticed the type of person I was and the type of person I've become. The difference between a snotty, asshole, selfish teenager and who I am now (or hope to be becoming/have become).
Stand up to me! I appreciate your opinion, of me, of whatever situation is going on ... the fact that I'm pushing you in a direction you don't want to be pushed SHOULD be enough for you to stand up to me. I will back down! Tell me I'm a jerk, tell me I'm pushing too hard. Don't just stand up to me, stand up to anyone who's making things the way you don't want them to be. I appreciate that even more than just to me! But if you do it to me (here's the secret) I WILL STILL RESPECT AND LOVE YOU! No matter what!
Yes I might be upset for a small span of time, be it a couple minutes or maybe a day ... but I will NEVER NEVER stop being your friend just because you stood up for yourself or your beliefs.
Shoving me out of your life is dumb. If I've ever used the word "friend" to describe you, it's for a reason ... YOU ARE MY FRIEND!
When I have to hear from other people, months later that something I did forced you to stop talking to me ... well, that hurts that you think I'm such a monster you can't even tell me how I made you feel without being scared of me.
Come on ... be my friend, tell me I've done something wrong. Don't make me into some dark evil shadow. You're part of my life, let me be part of yours.
