There are some absolutes in this world. For example, things will not always go the way you planned them, life will always come up, and people, no matter how much you love and support them will always inevitably let you down. The problem with the last item on that list is that I feel there is a difference between loving someone unconditionally and accepting all of their faults and imperfections versus knowing your own worth and not tolerating someone who takes advantage and mistreats your loyalty, love and generosity.
The past couple of days have been filled with a mixture of various emotions. My best friend got married this weekend and that had me reflecting on how long we have known each other and all the things we've been through and just what and how much she means to me in my life. As a result I've also started to analyze other relationships (friendships) in my life. Some in particular that I have come to realize are not as honest and genuine as I believed them to be. To know me is to know that above all I value honesty more than anything else. They say the truth hurts, and although that may be true, I believe that lies (no matter how big or small) hurt more.
So what's a girl to do? Accept them for exactly who they are or decide whether or not that version of them fits into the life and environment you want for yourself.
