That's What Friends Are For

I spent a majority of the day beyond irritated and frustrated. People don't seem to think MY time is of any value and that I can handle shit that isn't my responsibility. I am so sick and tired of making sacrifices for people who wouldn't and won't do the same for me. I'm tired of always being the bigger person and having to put my "adult" pants on. Even when it's not my concern. It's not fair. And I'm done doing it for people. Handle your own shit. Be an adult, and take care of your own responsibilities. I can't even put into words how angry I was today (and frankly, still am). I tried not to let it get to me, but it just grated on my nerves all day. My one saving grace was going to lunch with a friend. We went to the Cheesecake Factory and enjoyed a nice meal together and an even better dessert. She was able to take my mind off of my frustrations and showed me the positives of the day. On the ride to and from lunch, we rocked out to music and it calmed my soul- even if it was for a brief moment. She helped distract me and make me laugh and those are the moments I am clinging to in order to stay positive. I'm thankful for the friends in my life that are supportive and bend over backwards for me. I'd go to the ends of the earth for them, and they'd do (and have done) the same for me.
