in the past few months i have experienced some real lows in my life. Instead of me choosing my friends, i let them choose me...big mistake! I live in a housing community...the last person who lived here died of a crack overdose. His friends would get out of jail and think this was still some kind of place to do that stuff. I let these people in. I did not like how they treated eachother and themselves. Kicked them out, cleaned and scrubbed the place and now it is really home. Started dressing better, started therapy, and joined 2 clubs where lesbians can feel safe. I have a part time job until find something more substantial. I know i am smart. I am glad i never did any crazy stuff those people did. So i feel a bit of a void in my life. I still have my best friend of 5 years. I am going to take it slow and choose carefully. Sometimes i am not so patient, but i aim to attend those club functions and make careful choices. Am i leaving anything out? Love, nuckingfutz
Thanks for this!

Good for you. It is not an easty thing to do, to look at yourself in a different way, for the better.

Sounds like you have made some good decisions, made some good moves, and have a good plan. My best wishes for you to now go on from here, friend.

JUST SAY NO!!! You are a very, very compassionate person..but..you have to take care of yourself!!! Right and left IRL..people are just taking advantage of you....

I so admire your compassion for others...but...please....don't allow yourself to be used...

Please...take care of yourself...

Susan, you are so right. It is hard to say no, especially when people come to me in crisis. I goofed twice this week. I am suffering for it now. I know it probably wont last long. I will be writing about it in a new post by tomorrow. But what you said is dead on.
