I admire that you are able to continue to open your heart up to new relationships despite your heartaches in the past. And I love that you say "I define me." Right on. .-= Boy Crazy (@claritychaos)´s last blog ..weekend update =-.

Wish I could come over and give you big hugs. I think you are awesome. You are my rational sounding board, my creative genius, and my sweetest friend all rolled into one lovely package.

And those other people? They suck. And karma? Well it’s a bitch and they’ll get theirs. (and when they do, I’ll be standing there with you, and we’ll be sipping wine and be much to busy to even care about their little lives).

Loves you lots and lots!!

As Cheryl said, betrayals by friends seem so much harder to take than those by significant others. I’m not sure, but it seems like we almost expect – wait – for SOs to hurt us in some way; however, we assume that the people we choose to be our friends aren’t going to do that. It sucks and it’s awful. *squishy hugs*

I’ve been burned more times than I care to recount because I’m a softy who lets the underdog move into her spare room. It has left me VERY guarded. It’s extremely difficult for me to form friendships with females past anything but a surface level.

*sniffle* I think I’m going to need a big pint of ice cream to get me through all these posts. Girlfriend heartbreaks are the worst. I think those disappointments are way more painful than when boys trample our hearts; they’re the hardest to get over.

“I define me. And sometimes I get off track, but know that my heart, my integrity, my sense, my core, they hold me relatively steady. And so far, I’ve always landed back on my feet, with my head on straight, my eyes forward and my heart opened back up to the possibilities of greatness I know is out there.” – Word, girlfriend. You are a beautiful soul, Colleen. Thank you for sharing so honestly and openly with us. {hugs}

I have no idea why women are so capable of destroying each other, but we definitely have that market cornered. I’m so sorry that your trust and loyalty were betrayed like that.

I sort of understand how deeply it cuts because I went through something similar when I got pregnant (and another girl in our group was struggling to conceive), but I was demonized by one girl, not an entire group.

I’m glad the interwebz were here for you.

I so relate… Though it’s not the heartbreak story I posted, I had such a burn with my bestest friend that I too am feeling sheepish when it’s time for socializing!
UGH!

I have a hard time connecting with people at times, because I've been burned too many times. It hurts, and who wants to set themselves up for that? .-= thepsychobabble´s last blog ..Heart Break =-.
