A friend not so much!

Recently, my frustrations with a certain friend have grown. Maybe it’s because I getting older or maybe I am just tried of it, but I have had enough. I am not in any form of competition between our lives. I am happy with mine, be happy with yours. Our lives are not meant to compete. I have been happy for you, just be happy for me too. All the negative comments and the joy you show on your face and in the tone of your voice by my misfortunes is recognized. I am tired of it. Let me teach you a valuable lesson. My misfortunes are very small and I know I am very blessed. Whether I gained a few pounds or am not having such good luck in the boyfriend department, I know everything happens for a reason and I am strong enough to overcome the negatives and fix what I don’t like about my life. Let me clear something up, despite what you may want to think, I love my life…. Yes I do. I have many great friends, a wonderful family, a great job, excellent pay, I am beautiful inside and out and I have a huge heart filled with faith and love from God. I know what a friend means. You however seem to be lost. A friend is uplifting, supportive… you have not been. I hear the joy in your voice and see the immediate gratification on your face as if you have won something. Why? Well, news for you. I am well on my way to that skinny girl again and you may have settled on a man, but I’m not in any hurry, I will wait till the time is right for me. I have thought about writing you out of my life but I decided not to. Why, because despite all of this, I know there is something you are not happy about in your life that makes you think this is OK. It’s not OK. So I have made the decision not to speak to you for a while so that I don’t say anything hurtful and mean as well as allow you the opportunity to deal with what you need to so that this doesn’t continue. Now I know I have never talked to you about this, but you should know whom you are and this is the last time. What we have been through is no longer relevant, I need a friend who is going to be there for me the way I am there for them, someone who will not try and put me down to make themselves feel better or more accomplished. You figure out whether you can be that kind of friend.
