alright... before we get all up into this post i need to warn you that this post will be one of the toughest to write and maybe even more difficult to read.
why?
...because it has everything to do with the inconvenient side of relationships.
i wrote a post several months ago in which i described that the global killers of our day really are not aids, poverty, illiteracy, lack of clean water, etc... but inconvenience, selfishness and lack of awareness.
i write that because i think that it also is reflected in our relationships. if i think about the best, deepest, most authentic relationships that i have had in my life are synonymous with inconvenience. we will never understand what it means to be a good friend until we are willing to ride on the roller coaster of inconvenience. relationships just aren't convenient! i would almost say beware of the one's that are!
so... all that to say...
good friends are the ones that are willing to be burned and burned and burned again!
good friends are the ones that go and get you!
is there a point when too much is too much?
sure... you need to find out where that is, but i think that it is a little further down the road than we think!
its difficult to be a good friend... but i also know that we need people to survive and keep us healthy. i guess its time to start learning how to live with inconvenience.

Thats .... AMAZING. It seems like I get annoyed when my relationships become inconvienent. I should be more worried when they aren't. That's so cool, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for giving me inspiration throughout the week, and having things to think about and question. :)
Freddy, you couldn't have written that at a more perfect time. Thanks for the insight.
I COMPLETELY agree with Connor.
I needed this.
I'm so glad that I am not nearly the only one dealing with this...
its great to have community at the REALM. This is how life should be lived. Vulnerable.
