The Other Woman

Tonight I found out about the other woman, the one my boyfriend turns to to give him everything I can not, or do not. She is apparently self-less and all-too understanding. Her world revolves around him. She is always there to listen, to comfort, to care, to be whatever he needs her to be. She never has any of her own problems that "get in the way". She never asks for anything in return. She never expects the same care and compassion from him. For her, he is everything. and that is what he needs. I, on the other hand, have way too many problems of my own. I am always trying to deal with my own issues and therefore am much too busy too pay proper attention to my boyfriend's needs. I am selfish and spoiled and "IT IS NEVER MY FAULT". I am nothing like her.
So who is this mystery woman... alcohol.

Buffet of Friends

Is it just me or does everyone have a buffet of friends?? I was thinking about all the significant people I have choosen in my life, and I realized, they are vastly different. They each seem to fill a different role in my life, and in most cases, they are good at something or have some characteristic that I feel I am lacking. For instance, take my boyfriend... hello! He's a chef... meanwhile I can't even pretend to cook, nor do I have any desire to learn. Then there is my other friend... we'll just call her "J". She is incredibly smart... you know, book smart, and she is a wiz on the computer (the only reason I even have this blog!). Another one of my good friends "Y" is the most compassionate, caring person I have ever met. She is incredibly patient and selfless, qualities I totally admire. Another one of my friends "S" is just smoking hot. I mean she is constantly dating 3 or 4 guys at a time. Men are always lusting over her. She is just about every guys fantasy. It's not that I want to be like any of my friends. I have just realized that I seem to choose people in my life that bring something new and exciting to my life... they are my buffet of friends!!!
