So... I went and split a shit-ton of firewood and helped carry, stack and bundle it for a local state park. I'm one hella sore man right now, but inside, I feel good. If I can get outta bed in the am, I'll head over and do it again.

Recently realized the first about many people I thought were friends. Odd that when I stopped reaching out to them and/or helping when they wanted ... the reciprocal calls never came. People are ______ . sometimes.

The second, sux, but dealing with it is very insightful.

Yeah, I've found this too classic. If you're always the one doing the calling and making the effort, try stopping and see what happens.

chances are the friendship will end and they'll blame you because 'you stopped calling'.

If you have compassion for others spare some for yourself. Some changes are only assumed to be painful. In the end it will all work out. It always does....

This could also be the difference between an introvert and an extrovert, not necessarily an indication of the strength of freindship.

I have lost friends by being the one who doesnt phone. I always blame myself not them for that.

Ahh, the good old "OGG MAD!!! OGG SMASH!!!" form of therapy. Done in a way to also be useful and productive. Well played indeed.

I should probably go and do something like that myself.
