Say what?!

You know those little rain clouds that follow a person around in cartoons? My own little cloud descended upon me this sunny Friday.

A friend said something to me this afternoon that hurt - BAD - and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. It definitely ranks up there as one of the most hurtful things anyone has ever said to me. I've spent the afternoon trying to focus on work to distract me from it, but I haven't been very successful. It's raising all kinds of thoughts and feelings that I'm trying to process.

I have some fun, social things going on this weekend which will be good for me, but I also need to find some time to myself so I can journal and think and process and figure things out...

I'm not angry at this friend and I have no intentions of changing the dynamic of our relationship. She was sharing her honest thoughts with me, and I fully trust that she had no intention of being mean or hurtful. I much prefer someone being completely honest with me rather than not... but yowza, this one was a doozy.
