Glenna's right... there comes a time when your friends are no longer "good" for you.
A friend once said, naiwan siya sa ere, when I decided to apply for a job. Not true. People have to do things with their lives, for themselves. I hate it when people depend on me too much. Hey, I'm human, I undergo constant change. I'm not always going to be there at your every beck and call (let me rephrase that... I can't. I'm not a doormat). I live too... and as harsh and selfish as this may sound, I don't live for you. I live for me. That's the bottomline of it all, anyway.
The problem with always being there for your friends, they suddenly have all these expectations and their need for your attention becomes utterly insatiable.
Hey, I don't want to not care about people. At the same time, I don't want them seeing me as this person they can always depend on. Don't get me wrong. I'm going to be there for you when I can. I promise you that. But you still have to consider the fact that we all have our own battles to fight and, similarly, our own successes to celebrate. Those things we have to learn to do alone. Sometimes we have to realize how having somebody else there can be out of sheer luck and we should just be thankful and appreciative.
Ultimately, we are on our own.
