Shinning armor or tin foil hat?

I have been separated from my husband for about three years (Trying to get divorced) and it's so interesting for four years of a long distance infatuation changes in a few short years. At one point, this man was everything I could think about- his smile, his laugh, his hugs, his love... - and now, all I can think is "Wow, what were you thinking?"

We did have a bad falling out but we are rebuilding our friendship, knowing that anything romantically would never work and it's an interesting dynamic. We have similar interests and tastes but are so different otherwise. Now, it's nice to have him as a friend. I no longer need a romantic anything from him. It's nice being able to have a relationship with him that isn't romantic love. I will always love him in some corner of my heart but that love of a lover and partner has changed into a love of a close friend.

I think that this is for the best.

"HOLY SHITBALLS, YOU JUST SAVED THE DAY!!!"

People go out of their way to help. Look at the recent disasters (Boston and Texas) and how everyone was trying to help whether it was through giving blood, spreading awareness, and even overseas pictures of love and support. Humans as a race tend to be selfish and cruel creatures by nature but there are some people that have a glimmer of what mankind could be.

Take my friend, J (Name withheld for privacy). She used occupy the room my partner and I are now renting. She left us a bed that was in good shape and a few chairs for the room as well as helped clean the room up for moving in. J has come by the house and cooked, brought us a little food, given us rides to work when gas was low and even took me to my job interview after I had been unemployed for almost a year and brought me clothes that made me look professional. She did all of this without asking for anything in return: No gas money, No thank you, nothing.

This is just one example of a good, no great, friend as well as a great person. She might be a little crazy/weird sometimes but we love her for just being awesome. Have you been awesome to someone lately? Maybe you should, even if that is telling someone that you love them, appreciate them, or even just a smile or a wink. You could change their day.
