Ever since I stopped being friends with chief tormentor, I haven’t had to do this… 3 months ago

This lost me a ‘friend’ this year, but truthfully she was one of those ‘friends’ you get on better with when you don’t actually see each other and just catch up on the phone once a week…
you know like that song line ‘I like you better when you’re not around’ I have always thought that of her. I guess it was time, and I know it was because I have been through a monumental amound of shit since we stopped talking and I have discovered I don’t need her, I don’t need her help to overcome demons (she would have made it about her anyway) and I sure as hell don’t need to share my joy (she always, always brought em down when I was happy about something)
Huzzah! the truth has set me free, I do not have this dead weight bringing me down any more…. 5 months ago

Some people will never understand that the truth is more honourable than a lie. I won’t say something if i think its going to hurt someone but i won’t lie either. BUT then you get those people who declare you ‘unlikable’ because you didn’t enter into their talk about people bitchfest or because you didn’t ‘ohmigod you look amazing’ at their outfits, which, did not look amazing, i’d rather not talk than lie, but apparently thats a bad thing…. 16 months ago
