"“False friends are like our shadow, keeping close to us while we walk in sunshine but leaving us when we cross into the shade."
Wow. Well, how true it is. I've learned this the hard way these past few years and I have a feeling that I'm going to re-learn this lesson many times in the years to come. I have a hard time accepting that there really are "fair weather friends" even though I've been shown this to be true time and time again. I've done this countless times, this trying to breathe breath into relationships that aren't worth it, trying desperately to find a reason/excuse why someone would desert me or treat me badly... Of course this quote is also true when thinking about love relationships too! I wonder if there's a point in our lives where we just give up and don't care any more? I mean, how long can a heart continue to beat for something even when it's obvious there's nothing there any more?
Maybe I'm just a glutton for punishment!
