Beyond Bitterness

There is a world of difference between friends who are your rock who are genuinely concerned for you who you value the opinion of because they see clearly through all your muck and drama without hazing their view with their own issues. And, then there are others who want to put their bitterness on you and want to make you a part of it by dragging you through their ugliness that rears its head after they are tested and are forced to see their own true colors. I had the last of that experience today from someone I thought I knew from someone I called a colleague and friend across three jobs. Well, no more, she is written off as she is bitter beyond repair, called me naive, said I was living in a fantasy - well, I'd rather be naive with an open mind and heart than plain bitter anyday. Her bitterness and judgement stops her from seeing anything beyond her own cemented closed-in walls, she doesn't know what she's missing in life, love and happiness.

You really don't know your friends until you travel with them or live with them. I didn't talk about this during my previous blogs because I was so enamored with mi amore that my focus was completely somewhere else, but she did some things in Costa Rica that I wasn't too happy about, the trip wasn't totally wonderful. THANK GOD Giuliano came to save the day when I met him, right at the moment when I was at my wit's end when I had enough when I needed space and a place to cool off, I rarely need to be saved but on this day I needed him. He was my angel, and he doesn't even know it, one day he will. Forces beyond comprehension put you in places with people who make everything right as rain again, that is Giuliano.
