Sand Castle!


Sand Castle!, originally uploaded by fuzzirella.

guy-girl friendships are like sand castles.
fun to build, but they don't last.

i hated that phrase when adam and corrie
told me it.

but it started to make a hell of a lot more
sense when i started re-drawing my boundaries
with guy friends/guy interests/whatever.

i told a guy friend about it
and he fought everything i said.
who wants to be told you have to watch
the level of vulnerability you have to
have with a friend of the opposite sex?
no college student. cuz we like the right
here, right now.

but. i am a planner. i plan for the future
and for anything that can happen to foil
my plan. i am strategic. so, in that...
i started looking at my friendships.
and realized, my guy friends shouldn't
know me better than my significant other.
i have a few exceptions, but that closely
won't be allowed, sadly, once that guy
comes along that God has put out there
for me.

yep.

sand castles, baby.
sand castles.

and i will end with this.
my bangs get into my mouth now
and it's driving me BONKERS.
yay for hair cut appointments.
i only have to deal with it up until
saturday and then BAM! they're short-er.

I love this post. It's so true and I'm glad I realized it before finding Greg. It would have been difficult cutting those ties and trying to foster a good relationship with him. I love you and I miss you so very much. I can't WAIT for this program to be over!! Pray for me?
