Letter to a Friend

My friend,


You want to have a pity party but you keep holding it back. But you are only treating the simptoms. The underlining problem is still there. You give so much of yourself, and no one gives back it seems. Hey girl, that's totaly laget.! We have all had cause to ask "when is it MY turn?"


But you have the solution in a pefectly beautiful circle that takes us back to the start of it all. You give give give. You want to give. 


You like it.


When you start to feel you would like to be on the reciving end, give. Give to yourself something nice, do service for you, take time out of your busy life for you. Even if it's just a friendly hello when you pass yourself in the hall, we forget how much good that can do... Yep, that's the making of sci-fi right there. "Hi me, how are you today?" "Well, life kind of sucks, and I'm the only one that seems to care!"

Anyway, yes, sometimes life is self serve. But there is no reason why we can't take care of some of our own needs. Want a girls' night out, but no ones invted you? Invite them. If they can't go, you still go and enjoy yourself. Your husband doesn't get you flowers? You go buy them for you.


You get the point.


Life is too short and we are too tired to waste time wishing. Go and make things happen.
