I actually think this is a good thing. It's very good therapy for some people and gives them a place to vent at times, including myself. I'll never forget my best friend who died in 1993. We were friends since grade school and when we grew up she lived right down the street from me. I remember so well that we would visit often and though we mostly never had the answer to anything for each other, well sometimes we did and we would discuss how to better our lives, but mostly I would walk down the street and visit my best friend in her little mobile home and we would sit at the kitchen table and talk and talk for hours. I remember how on the way home, feeling like a ton of bricks have been lifted off of my shoulders and I'm sure she felt the same. Yet it was a lovely visit and we always enjoyed them so much and they helped us get through so many hard times. It wasn't about finding a solution for each other. It was just being able to get things out and get closure in a way. It was very refreshing and we always enjoyed our visits. It helped us get through life. It's like going to a therapist only you don't have to pay, yet you're not using your friend in any way. You're just being there for each other and sometimes that means all the world. After I left Patty Faye's house, and walked home in the dark, the whole world seemed right as rain again. Haha We do need each other in this world and sometimes a friend makes all the difference in the world on how things turn out. I can't wait to see her again. And it's okay if people vent on here. Who else do they have sometimes? That's why we're here for each other, through thick and thin. We never know what someone is going through and just having a friend to talk to, could actually save a life. People want to know they are loved and cared for, I don't care who they are. They may not admit it, but they do. We weren't created to be loners, really. A real good honest, genuine, faithful friend, is a real treasure and very rare these days.
