Dimaras Sanity Break

 

Open letter to my friends

I heard from you today. I have to keep reminding myself you have a life outside these confines. Family, friends and work, all wanting a piece of you, not to mention the demands of getting to and from wherever and trying to keep in contact with me. Okay, so I am self-centered and demanding, you knew that.

I must admit to being clueless as to why you seek me out. There are so many fascinating people here to choose from. Okay, okay, did I mention that little inferiority complex?!?

I’ve tried to juggle talking with you and others at the same time. It doesn’t work! I find myself closing other conversations, focusing on you. What is it that draws us together?

I mean good moods and light chitchat only go so far. Perhaps it is, although we engage in that aspect, we also listen to each other. In rough times, offering a shoulder to cry on.

Do you find when you go to family, they either ignore you or tell you to “get over it!”?

There is a word I think of as I write this, Validation. ;-) See going to a counselor does help!

Something else, how can your be so blunt and tactful at the same time? Would you like to teach me? I seem to be sticking my foot in my mouth, frequently.

Talking with you helps me to keep my inner balance. When I want to just crawl in the corner and hang my head, you direct my attention to the positive facets of these situations. When I would retreat, you help guide me, sharing your insight. Encouraging me to grow, to become more involved, caring.

Sometimes when I take a hard look at myself, I am surprised at how much I have matured in the last few months. Yes, I still have a long road ahead of me. But with friends like you holding my hand or giving me a shove, when I need it, I think I will do just fine.

So what’s going on in your life?

                                      Love,Dimara
