Attachments
1.5.2010
It happens much too easily. I become attached and then it scares me because I really don’t want to be attached to anyone or anything.
The only people worth being attached to are the ones who will fight for you and not let you go no matter how hard you try. The tricky part is figuring out who those people are before they disappoint you or hurt you or pull away first.
The unfortunate truth is that attachment is a part of human nature. We all want it and we all need it, even when we fight against it.

I’m sorry you’re hurting right now.
(Note that I don’t disagree with what your sister said. It is completely and sadly true. But I am sorry you are unhappy.)

Yup. I totally hear you. Going through a lot of that right now. And slapping my forehead for falling into the trap of trusting people I should know better than to trust.

I’m sorry things are… not good right now. :(
I tend to hold back, but warm up quickly once a person has passed some indeterminate test; once said test has been passed, I get inextricably attached, which never ends well.
As for nothing lasting forever, I’m not in a place where I can believe it, no matter how true it is.

Man oh man, how right you are. Figuring out who your REAL friends are is very difficult. I had a friend who I would have bet my life on that she would be there if things hit rock bottom. And she wasn’t. She bailed which sucked.
