So things are a bit tougher in my world right now. It seems that whenever I've dealt with anything challenging that my real friends are always separated from those who are not. As much as we would like to say we love unconditionally or will stick by each others sides forever - It isn't reality.
"All changes even the most longed for, have their melancholy, for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves."

Oh sweets, that's beautiful (just don't add a feet tag...)
I feel sorry for the little crumpled up friend on the left. Poor friend.

Firstly, this is fantastic... I can tell what is going on with your life without even reading the words.
So sorry about what's going on tho... but isn't it better to know who your REAL friends are, in the end? Maybe?

It is funny b/c that is often how it is...real friends stick around and the rest of them just run away.

Great shot Jenn!! excellent idea and so well executed... it's so true about losing friends when the relationships are tested. The upside is the bonds with the ones who remain will be strengthened. Congrats on making explore!

This is beautiful!!!!!! Really! I love it!! I've never managed to make the paper dolls in a row, what's the trick?
And I know what you're talking about, loads of friends come and go the last past years. And it made me really sad, 'cause I wanted so bad to hold on to the 'friendship'. Now I'm more conscious about who's good for me, and who's not. If I really think about it there are only 2 friends that give me a good feeling and I know there will be there for me always. Some other 'friends' cost me too much energy without getting it in return and another made me feel insecure while talking to her, and when I told her about my fears She responded with:'That's all your feeling' She don't want to reassure my fears at all, so I think that's not really a good friend. I'm a pleaser, but am aware that people won't give back what you give them, and to not get dissapointed or upset I don't have high expectations. And the only two real friends I have are the best in the world. Two is enough. And my flickr pals, like you are also a great completion. Take care. and again I sooo love this photo!!! You're so creative!
