There are people who only care about me to the extent that I can give them something. Once I have run out of what I’ve been giving them, I am no longer cared for and am, in fact, worthy of ridicule.
Learning this (and yes, I’ve learned it before, with different people) is a lovely “friendship clearinghouse” of sorts. There is something incredibly liberating about giving people the room to show me who they truly are.
…and then letting them go.
It is fascinating to me how the universe works. The INSTANT I let go of someone like this, I am contacted by someone “a tier above” (someone whose peer I aspire to be), inviting me further into that world.
There is something delicious about instant validation from the universe. It’s a spiritual, “Right on, sister!” like no other.
I accept.

Ain’t that the truth! 🙂 It’s taken me a long time to accept that not all people are meant to be in your life forever, but it was sooooo freeing once I really reached that conclusion. But it’s only something that I’ve figured out in the past year or so…
let me try this again (my computer crashed last time I went to post a comment)…so does this mean you found out that I’m only being friends with you in hopes of obtaining the magical DD crate!!?!? That I’m trying to procure all the mystical mojo and devine powers that I’m sure it possesses!?!? just kidding.
I always see you as friend first; casting director/industry type second…unless I’m working for you or you’re doing that consulting thing with me.
dude. we like broke up in the 90s…
Windy friends. I hate that stuff. Yuck.
