I had an extroverted friend who missed the memo on this one.  She hurt me pretty severely.  She didn’t hurt me because she was an extrovert, though.  She hurt me because she was a narcissistic asshole who burns through friends like some people burn through a tank of gas.

Hey, guess what, tumblr?  Being a grown up doesn’t make this shit go away.  In fact, sometimes it makes it a lot harder to bear.  I miss my friend. 

I miss the friend I thought I had.

The great thing about being an adult is being able to accept what I can’t change, and have the courage to continue to love my friends, and make new ones in the wake of such a deep hurt and disappointment.
