What I have discovered on this rough journey, is that the sun comes up everyday and there is no one in this world who can prevent you from being happy, nor anyone in this world who will define your happiness for you. There are just people who will show they want to be with you and if you have someone in your life not doing that... they don't deserve to be there~

The key word is "deserve"...

My effort to be drama free goes beyond the pretentiousness of just saying it everyday. I have removed people from my life. Friends, family..., whoever views me as a sounding board  for the problems in their life as if their life is my fault, have been removed from my contacts list, screened on my phone, messages not returned, and mail stamped return to sender.

It sounds harsh and uncaring, but the necessity is for my own self preservation if you will. I was so busy being a friend to everyone that I had no time for anyone to be a friend to me...and I thought that was ok~

It wasn't and I now find myself standing alone, but not from a negative perspective, but rather from a very positive one. I have the strength and wherewithal to stand alone. Happy with my service to those who asked for it as well as to those who took advantage of it. That final statement still falls on my shoulders as I allowed it to happen. But I am strong enough to know without a doubt that I can live just for me...

Stay positive,
