I read this on a friend's blog today and it felt as thought the words were ripped from my soul. Therefore I had to post it.
"I’ve slowly realized over the past few months I’ve been holding on tightly to a rope that no one is on the other side of. It makes me sad when I think about good times that won’t be relived or revisited. I know someday that I will be happy to know that they happened.
I’m slowly letting go. It’s been hard and there has been a lot of anger on my part.
I’m tired of being angry though.
I can’t be upset anymore. I can’t waste more time on visits that aren’t paid back or birthday wishes that aren’t reciprocated. I can’t be the only side in a friendship.
Someday I know I’ll look back at this and smile. Now it still makes me sad."

Thanks Cara for posting this and putting words to my emotions.
