Freeloaders

Over the last few weeks I learned a lot. I learned if you don't bend over far enough, people will help push you. I also learned that people don't think you're serious until you completely lose it.

Those aren't friends. Those are users and abusers.

I've also learned a lot about myself. Not to mention I learned a lot from others. If I have to defend myself, it's not worth the friendship. If you have to argue with why things are the way they are in your world, it simply means that they are trying to change your point of view to see theirs. And by doing so, it means they want something.

Relationships are the same way. If your significant other is defending someone other than you, run. Do you think they're defending you against others? Yeah, probably not.

So here are some simple rules to my life... (they may change as need be)...

1. It's my life, not yours.
2. Argue with me, I'll close the door.
3. If you need something, get off your ass and get it yourself. I'm not your bitch.
4. If you're always too busy when I need to talk to you (and I mean *always*) then don't worry about me answering my phone when you need me.
5. If I need to vent and I come to you, I trust you. Don't make me regret it.
6. If you get pissed off at me, and then I get pissed at you for doing the same thing you got pissed off at me about, go fuck yourself.
7. My brain does not function properly when it's agitated. Let it calm down.
8. If you defend anyone other than me, against me, that's not cool.
9. Don't like my rules? Think they're unfair? It's my life, not yours.
10. I don't fight for attention when I'm trying to talk to you on the phone. Call me back when you're free.
11. You have to let me go for no reason, that's fine. I'll go lean on someone else and I'll be okay to where I don't want to repeat the story.
12. It's my life, not yours.
13. I don't give second chances.
14. You get one chance.
15. I know we may not see eye to eye. That's okay. I still love you.
16. You value my opinion and I'll value yours.
17. It's my life, not yours.
18. I pay my own bills.
19. You need a ride, rule 1, gas money.
20. You need to borrow something, rule 1, where's the collateral?

Okay, I feel better.
