Okay, so Friday I'm totally wiggin' out over being fired from job of almost 3 years. It felt to me like the end of the world, which in a way is true, it is the end of my world as I knew it. My bf Marc is the first person I told on Friday evening. I was a mess emotionally, mentally and any other way possible. So, Saturday comes and goes and no word from Marc. I was hurt, I thought he was running away from the mental case I am because that's the reason I was fired. So Sunday comes and I still haven't heard from him. At about noon I got a phone call from him that he's been in a horrible car accident, flipped his Jeep trying to avoid the car in front of him who made a sudden stop, he overcorrected and caused the jeep to roll. He didn't hit the other car, but his Jeep is totaled. He's freakin' out about what's he gonna do, how is he gonna get around, um, hello!!!! I'm unemployed now and have a car!!! I'm gonna say what I've said to everyone else, the Lord certainly does work in mysterious ways. If anything, this incident will bring us closer as we will be more dependent on each other, but for different reasons. Isn't that what relationships are all about...balance, compromise, giving of ones self for the betterment of a significant other or anyone for that matter. Especially our friends. I have to develope some really important friendships here and I would lay down my life for each and every one of them.

So the moral of the story, don't assume the worst of someone until you know the full truth. No judgements. No jumping to conclusions that have no basis. And when someone is treating you different than you expected, especially under stressful circumstances...such as losing ones job...something worse could be happening to that very person that you love. I'm ashamed of myself for assuming the worst of him, that he had abandoned me in my hour of need, when the hour of need is actually his.
