Aristotle Said, "A Friend To All Is A Friend To None"

That quote couldn't be more true. I'm very weary of people who have 'many' friends; it isn't possible. I have quite a few and it's draining in it's own way so I can't imagine having many. Friendships are relationships that need nourishing, it's a garden the way I see it and not one person alone can take care of a big ass garden!

There are only 10 people I call my friends. 4 out of that 10 I consider my close friends and only 1 is my best friend. I have had friends that had many friends and they weren't good friends. 

Obviously I'm writing this post for a reason. I lost a few friends these past 2 years that I considered to be very close with, but when certain situations arisen, they didn't come through and it was a deep loss. I never thought losing a friend would hurt so much because I never really lost a friend out of the blue. You have friends that time and distance gets in between, but this wasn't the case. 

It definitely makes you re-evaluate everything and reflect, however makes you stronger and appreciate the friends that you do have and be more grateful. One of the people I consider a close friend of mine once told me that he was sad because he only has two people he can really call a friend. I told him to count his blessings because there're people who hang out with an abundance of friends and none they can really lean on.

Those Who Run Seem To Have All The Fun

So I finally quit my job - well I gave them a two weeks notice so I can be safe, but thank ice cream, I will be a free woman....for a while. There were a lot of reasons why I had to quit, I do recall writing a post from last December stating that I was definitely going to quit for the new year, but there were more factors since then. I'm thinking about going down south for two months to ease my mind because I've been carrying a heavy load of stress for some years now and I'm in need of vacay BADLY; it's long overdue.

You know what's funny, I had misplaced my favorite necklace a while back, it's a wolf charm necklace I had bought a few years back that holds sentimental value to me - long story - anyways, I just found it a few days ago and it reminded me of who I am; all of my positive and negative qualities, what I'm capable of and not; put things back to light to me. Also, haha this is cray, but when I saw Les Miserables, the part with Jean Valjean singing "Who Am I", that also hit me hard. Jeez, this is the most blue week of my life. But I'll be fine. 

So I'm just going to concentrate on taking one day at a time and enjoy the little things in life more. I'm going to try not to get my hopes up so much because I've done that a lot in the past and the bruises still sting from the fall every now and then.  

This is such a c'est la vie post haha

SYLVIA...

"Dying
is an art, like everything else.
I do it exceptionally well.
I do it so it feels like hell.
I do it so it feels real.
I guess you could say I've a call."

Sylvia Plath was real deep, maybe even too deep for most. Isn't ironic how people always say that want the truth, but then when you give them the gritty raw truth, they ignore or deny it. People are funny.
