Ive been thru some very sad and emotional phases this year after the break up.
You know how friends react and say you are not alone you have us. and i am so thankful i have my friends. even when at that moment i felt so alone and lonely and thought it wouldnt matter because i have to go thru this alone. most of my friends are married, have kids or are in a relationship. so yes it was nice knowing they are there but i still was scared of being lonely.
however looking back they kept distracing me, texting me or calling me and it always put a smile on my face. even if i cried after they left or when i was alone this was me trying to heel and let go of my emotions, but i always felt better when i was with them and knowing they are here.
just today i catched my self crying when my phone rang. i thought crap, i need to suck it up and pick up. so i did and ended up having a really good conversation and telling a bit about the situation i was in at the moment and it helped just having someone to listen, or better now- who was in this moment with me- so i didnt feel like i go thru it alone.
i think friends can give us perspective. they can help us calm down and give us bravery when we feel down or dont know how to move on. knowing they are there makes everything better.
