Hmmm
I was talking to a friend this afternoon.
And she mentioned that sometimes it is our expectations that cause us hurt.
I disagree. It is more than expectations that cause us hurt. It is simply our needs not met by others.
I do not expect friends to love me the way i need, now i realise it is asking too much of them to love me exactly the way i need. I have to learn to understand how they love people and to appreciate their love for me. (if at all).
The perennial problem of loneliness is my demon that i am still fighting, and fighting. I know it will be my thorn, it will be my battle. It is one thing to know in your heart you have friends, it is another to live a life when you feel you have none.

we need to understand that when someone doesn't love us the way we want, it doesnt mean they don't love us. it means they're loving us the way they know how, the way they know best. and we need to learn to recognise that to be able to appreciate the relationship. =)
