Listening

to... The Heartache Can Wait by Brandi Carlisle. Whenever Brandi sings, she sings with such intensity and belief behind the words she's singing. She's an amazing artist who I absolutely love, and this Christmas song of hers makes me love her even more (the harmony... makes me melt); So listen to it with a warm cup of hot chocolate and enjoy.

Now to the point of this blog:

Everybody goes through shit. It could be a bad break up, a divorce, a family member dying, anything. Everybody goes through shit. However, there is a difference in how people respond to this. They can either take it as it is and be emotional when they need to, but still have fun with friends and family. 

Then there's the people who take it out on their friends. Say things to their friends no person should ever say to another. Rather then talking to their friends and asking for their support, you try to relieve your pain by making them feel some of it. Friends can't be happy when you're feeling down. 

Friends are supporters, not punch bags. When you go through shit, friends are there to listen and support you. Not to listen to you call them annoying or immature. 

We all go through tough stuff. You may only think of your current situation, but always remember that your friends go through a lot too. Remember how they treat you when they go through it also because I doubt it's as harsh as how you treat them. 

You said some things last night that hurt me. And the fact that you weren't joking when you said them hurt me even more. Even if you were joking, they crossed the line. It really sucks to have you as a friend. You who I have offered endless support for and talked to you through the tough times. It really sucks that you saying those things to me is how you repay me.
