I'd rather see the world from another angle, we are everyday angels.

"It doesn't take a talent to be mean
Your words can crush things that are unseen
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way."

"'Cause anyone can start a conflict
it's harder yet to disregard it
I'd rather see the world from another angle
We are everyday angels
Be careful with me 'cause I'd like to stay that way

its on the peices of me one I think...

I think that we can choose though to _re_sensitize ourselves. it's always a choice how we react to people, you know? sometimes I have to sit down and say "what am I doing?"

some people are needy, but you can't help them. if you get what I mean, and it sounds like your friend was one of them. sometimes its actually better if you DONT help them. plus eventually helping that kind of blackhole can just suck the joy out of you, which also can ruin you too. so hey, its tough.

Oh nice! I'm pretty sure we have that album! Coolies.

Yeah that's true. We can always choose to become bitter over something, and even if we can help it at the time, there's no reason why we can't make an effort to get over it later.

You're right about my friend. Sad part is that it took me forever to figure that part out myself. I let him hurt me too many times before I realized it wasn't healthy to keep trying to save our friendship. He's a nice guy, creative and fun to hang around with, but he has a baaaaaad selfish streak, and is rather spoiled. =\ I think a lot of his moody behavior is just to get attention... and well, he's good at it, since he had me fooled for quite sometime. I finally wizened up and realized I was getting sucked into the black hole you mentioned. I had to push our friendship aside, I decided he could come to me if he still valued it, and well, if he didn't, then his loss!

He came around eventually, realized I wasn't around anymore and musta missed me. It was cute, actually. We're still friends, but not close like before. And we won't likely be, until he grows up a bit more. But I'm fine with that. One less person to coddle him is all for the better, (if only I could get his wife on that bandwagon). Amusingly enough the friend he 'dumped' me for got the same treatment as I did. She and I are buddies now, haha!
