I feel as though i have lost a friend in the past couple days. Ordinarily this would be nothing for me to write about, as i understand friends come and go in life. But this one in particular was much like me, in that they understand about life as well. It is not easy finding another person that has the capacity to understand what life is all about.

I admit i have a tendency to over-think at times and assume the worst, while hoping for the best. One trait of mine that i am indeed ashamed to admit outright.

This friend of mine has begun with a man who has little respect for her, and is trying to force her into marriage prematurely so he doesn't have to go off to war "alone". He is a "standard issue" military fool with an ego larger than the rest of his existence, and about as pointlessly aggressive. It is funny what trouble love can get you in when you are blinded by loneliness...
The loss of this friend is a painful one for me, as i have known and been friends with her for over 13 years.

Perhaps this is another experience that i must learn from, i have no doubts about this. As leaves fall from their branches, so they might feed their roots.. A Tree shall grow ever stronger from it's losses.
