previous & current soul friendships / forgiving / yay! birthday packages!

[belenen]

I feel incredibly ambivalent about yesterday's post. The first group of responses really surprised me -- I didn't think people would get offended by it, as some seemed to be. The second half made me happy

I can see where you are comming from about "soul friends" I probably do not qualify nor will I ever probably, but just a little thing.....you are a friend, and I treat my friends as if I have known them forever........very protective, trusting, loving, honored, and much more.......I am after all a Viking Ogre.......I do hope you find more of these "soul friends", untill then, I am your GOOD friend.......toadie.....the Ogre......the word warrior.......the goddess worshipper.......the never ending pain in the.......Yeah only to some. (WINK)

Toadie (just Friend)

So, I think, I could wickedly wait a few days.

or I could even post what I feel on my own site (imagine!).

But I'd rather make it easy for you, at least this once. :)

I don't know how grown up I am... and I do know that I have lots to improve in, like working on appropriate boundaries.

But within you I see the friend, the one best friend, I've never had and always wanted. I'd be a fool to pass this opportunity up... and I just thank God, almost so joyful I'm speechless, that He would allow me, you, us, this opportunity to become the best of friends.

Aww...I'm getting the warm fuzzies here....

[ex_alariya46]

You know, Nik, I absolutely adore you too (if not given as much an opportunity as Bel 'cause I have known her longer), so I hope we also can work on getting to be better friends. I would really like that.

[eternitywaiting]

I'd really like that, too. :-)

The both of you are two of the most honestly *yourselves* people I've met in a really long time, and I love that....plus, you're not all judgemental and snipey, which is just rare. I value honesty and openness so much.

Dammit...make me cry and I'm gonna be pissed. *small sniffle*

[ex_alariya46]

'Cause I'm already desparately in love with you in the way only girlfriends can love each other.

[belenen]

really? I feel so confused now.

[belenen]

not because of your phraseology or anything, just suddenly I feel lost and wondering what exactly your thoughts are.

[ex_alariya46]

I don't see why. I didn't mean as in the 'sexual' girlfriends... I meant it as in the way girls who are the best of friends can love each other. I meant as in, I already hold you very dear to my heart, and I really do want to try that friendship out with you. I mean as in as much as I fear trusting lest I am betrayed again... I trust you with the very inner core of myself only one other person has ever seen. I trust you enough to step out on a limb. I don't even know you that well, but you know what? I want to. I guess I was thinking yesterday about stuff, and in you I see this beautiful, wonderful, swirling mass of a soul who is just expanding and learning how to stand and grow and be strong all on her own... and you are beautiful. You'd be interested to know I saw your spirit as purple-y. So I'm sorry if I confused you when I said that I love you...Just know I meant it in the way where you can love another human being and keep loving them no matter what they do to you or how many times they tell you to stop loving them.

what you said about soul friends is completely the case in my brain. i wish i would have had time to post to you yesterday.
i have always been one to believe in fate, to believe in souls, and to believe in true love.
for me true love is what you are talking about. there are some people in my life that i can honestly say that i am truly in love with...even if i haven't made love to them, or dated them. there are just those people that i would do anything for, miss, love, care about, honor...
those are the people that i want in my life forever. all of my other "acquaintances" in life are disposable, i know that sounds awful, but oh so true. i love them, care for them, but would not miss them if they weren't in my life...

anyway, my point is that i understand what you are saying.

[belenen]

Yes, I think true love is another good way to put it.

Glad you liked it! Was trying for either vivid violet or dragonflies. Wasn't entirely sure what vivid violet looked like though, was trying to remember the colour of your wedding dress. So I'm impressed that I was nearly there ;)

[belenen]

It's lovely, you did a wonderful job! now you need to post a wish list so I can figure out something for YOUR birthday.
