Aww.. thanks, Big Papa. :kiss:

Okay so tonight you get tired Blu. Not enough sleep and way too much shit going on so that even the few hours I got were fitful.

I seem to be struggling with a relationship that I fear is coming to an end. I don't mean that we will never speak, but I sense that the bond we have shared for so many years is weakening and the threads are fraying.

While a part of me wants to fight and scream and even stamp my feet at it, there is another side that feels it might just be best. Because what he wants I cannot give him. What he needs is beyond my capability. And isn't that what love is? Isn't it giving up your wants for the another person's needs? Putting their happiness above your own?

I feel that I cannot say that I love him, that I care for him and then be selfish in this matter. So I am going through the difficult process of letting it fade. I am sure that we will remain friends just distant ones. Gone will be the day long conversation and laughter. Instead it will be replaced with haphazard texts and catching up here and there. *sigh* It is tearing at my heart to lose what has come to be a very important friendship, but I want him to be happy. So that is what I should do, right?

Maybe tonight, I just need advice. Need to know that I am doing the right thing. So tell me, dear patrons of Mama Blu's... what is love? I am not talking about romantic love, but a sincere caring for someone else. What would you be willing to do to ensure that someone you care for can get what they need to be happy.

Blu :kiss:
 
There is no greater love than that a man should lay down his life for a friend...Real Love means sacrificing yourself and your needs. So that you may nuture the other person. Better to part as cherised friends. As have a wonderful relationship end up bitter or disappointed. ~ Hugs ~ Mama Blu. Will pray your heart leads you in the right direction to go.

Thanks Nurse. Sadly I think my heart knows what needs to be done but really really fuckin' hates the hurt that it knows is coming. Hell, the hurt is already here. I just can't see any other way that will work. But I so sincerely want him to be happy.

You're doing the right thing, Blu.

Sometimes, friendships serve their purpose, and then they fizzle out...because what you needed from them at the time the friendship started is not what you need anymore. People constantly change and life moves along at its steady pace, whether you want it to or not.

Love is a lot of things to the different people in your life, and you love them all in different ways. It always hurts to have to let go of it, because all of the things you hoped for and dreamed about with that person go with it. It's a tough loss to take. but it's not always a bad thing. Sooner or later, you learn to look back omit with smiles instead of tears.

What did Marilyn Monroe say?.... Never regret anything, because at one time it was exactly what you wanted.

*hugs* Blu! And a big ol banana smooch! :)

Thanks Banana. You know me, I am such a damn fighter that the thought of giving up and letting go is a foreign concept. But I see nothing else for it. For me to be angry that a new woman has stepped into his life and in a way that I cannot... I don't want to muck that up for him. And yet it hurts to see someone that has meant so much, has been a really good friend and at times such a strong emotional support through the horrendous past few years... it is hard to see that slip away.

*deep breath* And yet I keep coming back to the notion that if I care for him as much as I say I do, then I need to let him do what makes him happy.

He will still be there for you when you really need him...just because you let him go doesn't mean he's going to be *gone*, you know??

I know you, all right...stubborn as a mule...but also smart as a whip, and when you make up your mind that something is the right thing to do, you stick with it.

My problem right now is that I really don't want to. I know I should, I know that it is best and you're right, it is the right thing to do. But it hurts like hell and I don't want to do it. But I know I have to.

God, sometimes caring for someone is a real pain in the ass.

Welcome to Banana!! Lol!
 
Blu, as someone that has horrible advice, I recommend this:

Do what is right for you.

Others have said it, I just have no other way to butter it up.

At least you have friends here that will be here for you ;)

Sadly what the selfish part of me says is that what is right for me is to cling to this friendship that has seen me through so much. But I don't want to be selfish. Love, in any of its many forms, should not be a selfish thing. Or so I would like to believe.
