I've had it happen one too many times. I realized I can't depend on another person or group to make me happy. The idea of using someone to balance your level of happiness isn't very logical.

I don't have many friends apart from my girlfriend and 3 or 4 others ... and I don't have a single complaint in the world.

:werd: to the 5th power. Aside from my gf, I have a group of a very few that I can call my friends. Everyone else I can chill and hang with no problems...but you know what I mean. I've know A LOT of people that just turned sour after graduating high school.

Yeah my friends are 20 mins away and my girlfriend is about an hour and a half way...I've been spending more time with my friends lately because I can trust them and I know they'll always be there for me (these are guys that I've known since early high school and we've done everything together)...now my girlfriend wants a 'break' so I can 'figure out what i want'. I told her I wanted her to stop bitching and be happy with the time we spent together (2-3 hours almost every day after work) but apparently that was the wrong answer :chuckles: I really don't give a shit anymore, I'm tired of being the phone-a-friend to all of life's questions, mysteries and problems. I get very irritated when I end up giving the same piece of advice 5 times.

Now when I go back to college in 2 weeks everyone is 8 hours away, so shit will hit teh fan

Oh, and to answer the question... yeah, I think I finally have found my calling. Endowed with the gift of gab, my contribution is to inform and entertain with narrative, investigation and when appropriate, subjective opinion.
