My Biggest Current Problem

I don't want to take the time to explain the history behind my biggest problem right now.  I will give only a brief history.  My friend (who was my best, although I'm not sure I can count her as that anymore) and I went to the same school in kindergarden and elementary.  But we went to different middle schools and high schools and are now in different places.  We've always been so close, though.  We call each other sisters and my cousins think she's their cousin.  People mistake us for sisters and think my mom is her mom.  We've traveled to Alaska, Hawaii, Peru and all over the continental states together.  We've been the best of friends, partners in crime, sisters for life.

But the last year has been rough.  I will not detail it now.  But things have been hard on both of us.  Then something happened.  Something unprecedented. Something unexpected and so painful.

It's been a month since the onset of the issue.  Nothing has changed.  My heart is broken into pieces for her and because of her.  And on top of that, I have no one to tell these things to.  I always told her.

Certain things drive the nails in all the more.  Many things do.  Facebook is one.  Her status drives me nuts!  I think I'm going to scream and throw my computer across the wall every time I see something on there about the boy.

My friends from high school are dear to me too, this must be understood.  I will explain that in as much detail as I can later.  But I love them with everything I have.  They mean so much to me, despite the fact that we are infinitely different.  I would give my life for them.  But they have issues and bring frustrations too.  I've always been able to talk to my friend (let's call her Ursula) about these other friends.  Always. We knew who each others' friends are but were removed from the situation.  With this boy, everything is different.  Now she sees my friends more than I do, knows their drama and big moments in their lives, and facebooks them.  Everytime I look on facebook, she's been talking to one of them.  They know what's going on with her before I do, too.  

I can't stand it!  I'm going to go insane if I see it go on any longer!  Ursula and I have always had separate spheres that we only came into when invited by the other.  She was certainly not invited into my life this way and is not welcome.  Especially since she deliberately lied to me and hid it behind my back.

Why I started this blog

So...I'm going crazy.  I'm not sure if I can get through every day without an outlet.  I have no one to listen, no one to tell things to.  My family is there for me but I can't tell them the details of my heart.  I pray to my Lord, but I need to release all my thoughts into the world.  I don't think anyone will ever read this blog; I'm not writing to an audience.  I'll say what I need to say, not making things more dramatic than they are or need to be.  But the possibility that these thoughts will be seen and hear by SOMEONE is enough for me now.  So I will write. I will blog.
