come on over to the bitter shade
In some areas of my life, I can get attached quite easily. To books, songs, stuffed toys... and when it comes to letting go of those things.. It might take a little convincing, and a little push, but I'll do it. Now when it comes to people, it might take me quite while to get
really attached. but when I do get attached, it's gonna take a lot more than just a little push to let go of them. You'd have to do more than just try to convince me that I deserve better. Or that people change. Or friendships die. I don't like leaving people, and I don't like seeing them leave me either. I am terrible at leaving people. (some of you can agree with me on that.) What I mean to say here is that, I care too much for people to see them live their lives without me laughing/crying/yelling along with them. Earlier today, my agenda book read, "The word
clip means both "fasten" and the very opposite, "detach". It made me wonder if I've been using the wrong definition for some of my friendships. When have I been constantly trying to clip back some friendships when they should've been clipped
off? Do I have enough courage to sacrifice and put an end to my reluctance?
How to love today:
Pray for some of your broken, suffering or unstable relationships.
Perhaps, that way you will be able to find out whether you should be fastening some good ones or detaching the wrong ones in your life.

"I'm here. I love you. I don't care if you need to stay up crying all night long. I will stay with you. If you need the medication again, go ahead and take it. I will love you through that, as well. If you don't need the medication, I will love you, too. There's nothing you can ever do to lose my love. I will protect you until you die, and after your death, I will still protect you. I am stronger than Depression, and I am braver than Lonliness and nothing will ever exhaust me."
