My point? My friends are my therapy. Not blogging. Sure, I blog every now and then, but over the past couple of months, I have not even had the thought cross my mind just once "Should I blog about this? It's been a while since I blogged. I wonder if my followers miss me." Come on Audrey, you don't have any followers! You are not a blogger. My blog simply serves as a mass communication log. If I have a long story to tell or a lot of stuff I want to get off my mind without having to repeat it many times to individuals, I will blog about it, post the link on my Facebook, and let people decide if they want to read into my life. But what I have found, is that its really just a one-way situation. I spend many minutes typing up a story, but I don't get to see any reactions on peoples' faces or hear their feedback.
Back to my original point: This blog post goes out to my friends. Because you are the ones that sit next to me on the couch while listening to my problems, my successes, offers up advice, all while your adorable dog keeps trying to lick my face (not conducive to story telling). You are able to share with me how you may have been through a similar situation and that it is something to learn from. We laugh, we cry, we hug it out, and then take sips of our wine, because that is what girlfriends do. You are also the friend who randomly messages me on a Wednesday night inviting me out for $5 martini night because who doesn't want to spend hours just talking, catching up, laughing, gossiping, checking other dudes out at the bar, people watching, all while drinking inexpensive cocktails. And to all my other friends who know I talk too much, but you are my therapy. Because I can confide in you. Everyone needs friends, and it is now that I recognize who my friends are because I am in a happier place. I enjoy my work, I play, I work more, and maybe a little more, but then I have you all to decompress with.
I probably won't be blogging much anymore, so I'll see ya around Blogspot. Catch you in another cyber universe....or the next time I feel like sharing a story to completely random strangers.
