Friends Are Sisters Born of Another Mother

Here goes today's post :)

Well, I aint the greatest friend, to be honest. I will let my emotions blind me and take over. I have lost so many friends because of my emotions. Why? Because my emotions are extreme.

When I am happy, I am ecstatic. When I am sad, I am almost depressed. When I am angry, World War III is about to break loose. God made me to have emotions like that. I don't know why, but they sure as heck are hard to control.

I have lost friends because I would get mad at them (usually for nothing) and go with the flow of my emotions. I have lost friends because I was so blinded by a certain emotion I was feeling that I broke a promise (which I hate doing and am the type to hate broken promises). I was also just plain emotional and didn't pay attention to other people's emotions and feelings and lost a friend.

Though I have lost friends through these emotions, I have also gained friends. Not only do my extreme emotions make me lose friends, but they help me to gain friends. I have gained some of the greatest friends ever and would never trade them in for anything. I have gained so many friends because of my emotions. Why? Because my emotions are extreme.

When I call a person a friend, don't mess with them. When I love someone, no one and nothing can make me stop loving them. I protect my friends and stand up for them because I care about them so freaking much! You can say that I am that "clingy friend." And I probably am. But it's because I want to make sure they are okay and safe. I want to be there for them if they are upset. I want to be with them when they are rejoicing and celebrating. I want to be there for them. I don't want to miss anything in their lives. I just want to be there for them.

No, I aint the greatest friend if you can't handle extreme emotions and aren't willing to accept that I will make mistakes in the relationship. But I can be that one friend that will have your back and do anything for you because of how much I love my friends. I can be either friend to different people, but I can be a friend.

That's about it for tonight :)

God bless!!
