The Ability to Grow
I have learned a lot about myself and about others the last couple of months. I have learned those who I thought were the strongest, have the same insecurities as I do. I learned that if someone is meant to be in your life, they will always manifest themselves in some way. I've learned that sometimes it is better to just let someone go their own way, even if that way is away from you, so that the next person can come into your life. Last month I had the opportunity to spend a weekend in Vegas with one of my very special girlfriends. The weekend did not go as planned. I am officially far to old for Vegas, and my struggle with social anxiety manifested itself in a huge way, but a lot came out of the weekend in hindsight. I know that my friend will always be there for me, and that I will always be there for her. I do not have to worry that after 20 some odd years of friendship she will decide I am a bad friend, and decide that she doesn't want to be in my life anymore.
