some nights i wish that my lips could build a castle

people can be so tricky.

i don't know what made me think i would ever be equipped to handle that. like i'm ever going to be the person who knows all the right things to say. i mean, if you know me at all, i think you know i'm not that girl. i'm nowhere close. i'd like to be, but i just--really suck at words. especially when it counts

you ARE a great friend and you SHOULDN'T feel guilty

if someone is your friend, they should know what to expect. if they want someone to lie to them, that's why they have different friends. like you said you can't compromise yourself and if they're not happy with that, that's a fault with them and not with you

i hope you know this but it bears repeating anyway; i love you for this reason - that i can tell you things and you are honest with me, that it means i can trust you if you tell me it's not the end o the world, that i know you will never judge me and that if you're concerned about me, i know it's for a good reason

never change, nat ♥

you are so wonderful

is basically what i got out of this post.

and you are an AMAZING friend and i was nodding my head at literally everything you said in this post, especially the part where you are entitled to feel used or tired or emotional because yes! and the part where a real friend will tell you the truth even when it hurts/you don't want to hear it.

and also, ftr, every time i've been having a problem, your comments/emails always make me feel so much better.

and basically, ilu, and i hope you accept as well as receive that sort of comment/support from people, or at least know that there are people (like me! and i would guess the majority of your flist) whose inboxes are always, always, always open for you ♥

i think you're wrong about not knowing the right things to say. the right thing to say is often what you tell people-- your honest opinion (which may not always be correct but let's face it, you're very smart and as an objective outsider, definitely more rational than whoever it is you're talking to so you're probably right more times than not). it may not be what people want to hear sometimes, but it's something they need to hear. don't beat yourself up over it. what good is a friend if they only tell you what you wanna hear right? this is a lesson i took a long time to learn, and i think actually i've learnt a little of that lesson from you

what i mean is i hope you feel better soon(:
