A Friend In Need

So, some people may have noticed i've been quite distant recently.

Well along with the fact i'm just working really hard, and am just a bit stressed out at the minute, I also have decided this is the year where i take no crap from supposed 'friends'.

If you are on my myspace, some of you have been/will be deleted over the next couple of days. I probably wont answer some of your phone calls, or reply to your emails and messages.

Now I know you are thinking 'what a bitch'. But if you are one of the people im 'cutting out', then you deserve to be. You bought it upon your self. Sure its for selfish reasons that im doing this (explained below) but its about time I am selfish - after all, every body else is.

Over the last few years I seem to just be surrounded by people who call themselves friends, but do nothing to suggest so. Im sick to death of always being the one to have to make the effort to get in contact, always be the one to bother organising meeting up, always the one to listen to your moaning...and none of this is returned (or rarely at least).

I refuse to be the friend that is forgotten about any more. I refuse to be the one to always pick up the pieces when your life is a mess, but pushed to the side once you have a better offer.

And really, what I really, truly want, is the same respect, and love and appreciation and thought i give my friends to be returned. I didn't really think it was that much to ask. But for some of you - it does seem to be.

Some of you, maybe I have got it wrong. Some of you might think im talking about you but im not! But i think those who have been shitty friends know who they are. Im not asking for much, but if you dont think you can give that to me, then there is no point anymore.
*** I should add that not all of the above applies to everyone, Sometimes its just bits and pieces here and there. I'm just trying to make a fresh start, with people who regard friendship the same way i do.***
Been nice knowing you.
