I Used To Have A Friend

in relationships

So there used to be a friend of mine that I really looked up to.  He was kinda a role-model for me.  Now he’s not there anymore – because in a stressful situation I made some bad choices.He had a rough history, he had his fair share of trouble just like I did – more then me if you look at it in comparison still.  But he managed to get his life straightened around.  He just got his 4 year degree and is now in seminary.  He also is one of the goto guys at the local fire department, married, happy and a really great person.

I miss him a lot, and I no longer have him around because I messed up when I was stressed out.  I was scared, I did not know what to do.  I needed help.  I haven’t talked to this friend in over 2 months.

I often ask myself why can’t I be like that?   Why can’t I be like this person?

If he is such a great person, then you should be able to go to him, sincerely apologize for what you have done, and be forgiven. That doesn’t mean he will be your friend again right away, but you will at least be on the road to rebuilding your relationship. It will never be the same as it was, but it could even be better. This is a difficult task for all of us – to admit we have wronged someone – but it is an important skill to learn.

You don’t have to be like him, you’ll fail if you try. Just be yourself. (That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to improve yourself, one can always do that, but comparing ourselves to others leads either to wrongful pride or disappointment.) Can’t win either way.

I wish to stay off the record but I have a science degree and have a nephew with autism. It is agreed that children with autistic tendencies have a hard time getting rid of heavy metals from their bodies such as mercury from vaccines. Parents have even had chelation therapy to remove it.
In order to reduce climate change aluminum and barium are used to make artificial clouds that some call chem trails. Hepa filters in homes are not fine enough to catch these particles only electrostatic filters can filter them out. Autism is highest in states like New Jersey and the mid Atlantic states and this matches areas with highest autism rate. Please pass this along but I wish to be off the record and stay anonymous. Thank you.

Actually its not agreed, and has been in fact dis proven that heavy metals from vaccinations cause autism.

Dude, chelation is dangerous. It removes heavy metals that people actually NEED and has not been proven to cure or treat autism!

If your friend is in a seminary and is mad at you then I think he has alot to learn about God. Maybe its really nothing you did. Sometimes people move on in different directions in their lives. If you want ask him.
