i'm really tired of being friends with people who aren't happy for me when i am happy. i'm tired of thinking that people i am close to secretly hate me when things are going well in my life. i have a nice boyfriend and have achieved moderate success in various photography-related things, but i feel bad about it. i realized that's not good at all

Like the saying goes, "it ain't bragging if you can do it."

You're not doing anything wrong when your life is moving in a better direction for you. If others can't appreciate that and celebrate your successes with you, you're better off culling them from your life. There's no reason for you to be made as miserable as they are.

*hugs*

it's hard to cut people out when you don't have very many people in your life to begin with. :/ i wish i was better at making friends.

hello there,
just a quick note to say that I added you!

[lullabyexile]

okay i will add you back! :]

Hii hi, I don't really know what to say except that I'm so sorry you've been feeling like that, oh my gosh! I feel like I know the feeling, but I'm not sure that I do. But it's sad, it's too sad, because you have done a lot of great things, and sometimes people are too wrapped up in themselves and too wrapped up in jealousy to acknowledge that. People are flawed, and they often don't realize it. Or maybe they realize it too well. I don't know, but either way, it's awful

ahh this is so weird! i seriously had a dream about reading your livejournal last night, haha. how crazy

[xdizzydance]

That is weird!

That would be really nice! Amanda is in Vietnam right now, actually--she went for five weeks for school. But it would be great to get everyone together again. I think everyone wants to do it, too.

Haha, yeah, I've been really bad about Livejournal lately. Things have been really consistently good, and sometimes I feel silly making constants posts of "Oh hey, life is still happy." I'm excited about the journals too! I'm trying not to get my hopes too high, but it would be so so so so great.

Aww yeah, I heard about that concert, and it hurt me so much that I couldn't go (lack of transportation always ruins everything). That would've been such a great show!

Move on: if you've been feeling that way for a while you will not regret it. Cutting negative people out of my life has been one of the best decisions I ever made.

[lullabyexile]

yeah, it's so hard to do, especially because i don't have that many people in my life. part of me is hoping it's just a stage everyone will grow out of eventually.

Well I am very happy for you. I don't think you brag :P I never thought your life was a wreck, I knew marvelous things were going to happen for you.

:)

[lullabyexile]

aw thankyou. :] yeah i never considered you one of the people i'm talking about, ha.
