My relationships always end before they should, too. Romantic or friendship - either way. I've never been able to really keep in touch with people once our lives head different ways, or we break up, or have an unpleasant conversation, divorce, move etc. But I love them - well, most of my friends/family/significant others are really pretty great and I love them. I'm definitely working on this part of myself. I know that all of my best features have developed because of the people in my life, so nurturing those ties is important. But it's really hard sometimes to open up, to trust, to get close.

Today I played hookey from work and ran errands and was in such a great mood, I talked to everyone I saw It was great! Why can't I always do this? Do you know how many times I've sat awkwardly at parties!!?? grrrr.
