So I was listening to Katy Perry's Part of Me...and I know what most of you may be thinking, and the answer is no, I did not break down crying in my car when it came on. I actually became irritated with a line in the song.
And in all honesty, it's ridiculous to be irritated with a line in a song, but it was something that got me thinking. Katy, we're on a first name basis now, sings "I just wanna throw my phone away, find out who is really there for me."
Most of us want everyone to stop what they are doing to help us through a crisis and yet at the same time we complain that no one seems to say the right thing. But what we want and what we need are two extremely different things.
Yes, it is important to have friends and family around when going through a loss such as this, but their lives should not stop just because our lives have. Just because they haven't been able to call or go to dinner with you, doesn't mean they don't love you or are not thinking about you.
And just because I am crumbling, I don't expect my friends to stop what they are doing to listen to me cry about how lonely or sad I am.
"I just wanna throw my phone away, find out who is really there for me." Katy, everyone who loves you is there for you, regardless if they call or not or visit you or not. Besides, at the end of the day only you will be able to mend your heart.
Your friends, your friends are doing exactly what they should be doing. Living. And if you need someone and there doesn't seem to be anyone around... pray, journal, dance, sing, laugh, smile, find your happiness, be fulfilled with yourself, and in time your world will begin to turn again.
