"I used to think that the worst thing in life  to end up alone.   It's not... The worst thing in life  is to end up with people  who make you feel alone.

When they wanted something that they felt that I could provide...they reappeared and the cycle started all over again... All along...I tried to understand their situation...tried to treat them the way I would want someone to treat me....and continued to called them "friend....
