| I don�t expect people to sympathize with my needs. I don�t expect dependability, and respect. I don�t expect time and understanding. But I do expect what people give me their word that I am ought to expect. It�s a bonus to have people in your life that do these things out of love, and out of care for one another. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people state that they will do things and then go against their words. It shows a lack of character to me. A lack of friendship and trust. That�s when I give up hope on those people and I give up hope on the relationships which we hold with each other. I have come to the point where I will try to an extent. If those in my life wish to be close to me, they will have to put something into the relationship. I have a tendency to try at things for an extended period of time, and have come to the realization that you can only put so much effort into something, you can only control a situation so much and then it is up to outside sources and forces to act upon those goals. They may or may not work out in the end, but I believe if a friendship is truly meant to be, it will be. These kind of connections take time and effort. They require hope. And they require a fair input from both sides. Lack of that equals lack of a friendship with me. Thanks for listening.ndship with me. Thanks for listening. |
