I lost a lot of friends this year due to my behavior. Distance has brought clarity to me; some of those people had no business being in my life and its good that they are gone. Others, on the other hand, it's a mixed bag. It still a searing pain and I can't stop thinking about it. How things played out, how they hate me now, all the fun and good memories we had, how this person who was so monumental in my life is now a stranger. 

I've pined after people who certainly didn't deserve it and where the relationship was really one-sided and it made no sense for me to feel attached as I have.

But what about the people who DID matter? The ones who it's appropriate to mourn. Do you ever get over that loss?
