Growing Up | September 28, 2011

I’m sad.  I’ve lost two friends.

Both beautiful people, they’ve been through hell in the last few years, and seem to feel that my actions diminish their pain, when in reality they were intended to champion others. 

Both inspire me.  One firey, passionate and determined beyond all reason.  The other soft, kind and compassionate, loving in every way.  Both, like me, have been wounded by hurtful people.

A few years ago I would have crumbled at the thought of losing a friend.  Today I wish them well, respect their choices, and stand by my own.  I guess I’m growing up.
