i think better talk first with her i mean maybe she need really a friend to talk to about it and somehow she have fear to face reality herself but if after to talk to her she dont listen well you can take your way and let her alone....

Sorry. I think the right thing to do is to explain to her why you have to break off ties. It probably won't be pleasant, she'll likely deny everything and call you a traitor, that's what addicts tend to do. But hearing the truth from someone she knows might help begin the process of realization. Getting everything out in the open will be the best course of action for both of you - you won't end up wondering if you should have tried to talk to her. I know this sort of thing is no fun whatsoever. If you don't feel prepared to talk to her then just withdrawing is the next best option. Your primary concern has to be taking care of your own physical and emotional health.

I have to get to work, was only able to watch the first couple of minutes, but there's some wonderful imagery in there. I'd say you definitely have a knack for seeing through the camera.

Well without suffering wouldn't the good things feel a tad hollow? Not a big fan of suffering but it is often the most influential thing in my life as it does teach the most lessons.

Living well is the best revenge!!
78walk:
The idea of revenge can sometimes be sweet, but when it actually happens the end result is always a sense of hollowness. Revenge never changes any past event that causes us pain.

I don't think forgiveness is necessary unless it's actually been earned. What is necessary is truly letting go of the past. If someone has behaved badly and hurt you, it only makes sense to not give them another chance to do the same in the future unless you see a lot of real, tangible evidence that they both feel remorse and have changed for the better. But whether or not that has happened, the primary person harmed when you hold onto hatred and thoughts of revenge is yourself.

By not letting go of a past that cannot be changed we hurt our present and future selves, doing the job of our enemies for them. All humans are capable of doing bad things if we allow our emotions to gain too much power over our rational mind. When one feels negative emotions trying to take control, the only thing to do is push back hard and keep them in their proper place. Otherwise, we risk becoming the very thing we despise.

Love that last line. smile

It's OK to feel compassion for those who behave badly, treat us or others with cruelty, etc. It's just that they shouldn't have any place in one's life.

Then everything will forever and always be just fine!! For to dream is to hope for the future, and to hope for the future, is to thankfully let go of the past.

As for me acoustic type melodies... evidently I'm a writer this month, so i've been giving it my best not to get quite so creatively sidetracked as i have in the past. lol

Knowing me though, I wont stay away from the music for long.

Hope you have a Beautiful day!! biggrin

Because you have forgotten how to dream. And most importantly of all, that life is but a dream itself. Dream again beautiful flower... close your eyes... and dream.

I don't believe you have to choose. Find a profession (or professions) you enjoy that's also in demand and pursue that as a vocation, but also make room in your life for the other things you love. To me, having a stable day job and financial base actually makes it much easier to avoid compromising in one's other endeavors. If something else takes off at some point and the day job becomes obsolete, you'll then have a free choice as to whether or not to stay with it. smile

It's all within your control, if you'll just take control. Don't allow those disgusting hands from your past prevent you from being happy and comfortable in your own skin now.

Your youth will only be over when you accept that it's over.

I'm aiming to stay young til the day I die. smile

Sorry about your dad. My family has always been there for me, so I can only imagine how bad it feels when that isn't the case. Thinking about you - hope you find a solution soon.
