diamondsky's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Letting Go and Taking Charge, Pt 2 Today in spiritual direction, Sister Janice listened to my story of the conversation Brendon and I had the other night. She said it seemed like he had something deeper within that was causing him to be bitter. She agreed that he was guarding himself by only talking about movies/music instead of emotions or other common things friends talk about. She also told me that there are some friends who come into our lives, meet a crossroad, and leave us. There are reasons for why they came to our lives at that time. Reasons we might never understand. But she said it's perfectly acceptable to let people go and to continue moving on with your own life. It doesn't make you a cruel person. And in this case, it might be for the best. She told me the difference between love and respect. And that it was okay to let him go, because it is a form of respect to myself and to himself--so he can maybe sort out his life or whatever he needs to do. That this is a form of love to let friends go instead of dragging them on. I let the relationship go a long time ago. Now it's time to let this friendship go. 10:14 p.m. - January 25, 2007 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
