SLINKY!

So tonight at Living Rooms, we got into a bit of a discussion about Devin and Heather. Amy asked how we could go about loving them, and it got me thinking. How CAN I love them? I know they have both good points and faults about them just like I do, but for whatever reason(s), loving them seems about a million times more difficult than loving anyone else. They haven't exactly shown me much love through various things they've done over the years, so why shouldn't I return the non-love? Because hating someone is the easy way out. No one ever achieved anything noteworthy by taking the easy route. However, I know that I can't change the way things are between us, not just because of myself, but because I know that they don't want to either. And that's ok with me. Chances are, it wouldn't work out very well anyway. But I don't want to waste any more time or energy hating them. It's not right. They were good friends of mine for years, and the fact that this is where we've ended up.. it's almost sickening. I don't want to hate them, but I don't want to be friends with them. My only way of showing them love is a happy medium: to just know that YES, they do exist. They're not going anywhere, and that's fine. I just don't want any more to do with them, because I know that all it will bring is conflict. So I am going to delete them off my msn, my myspace, my hotmail address book. I'm going to erase their names and numbers from my cell phone, and just let them be. I'm not doing this out of hate or anger, just out of respect, and the only way I can show them love. It's the only way I can see to bring peace, and just leave things alone, so that's what I'm going to do. And that'll be all.

Girls, keep up the prayers.
